The Houston Texans stunned the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, racing out to a 21-0 first quarter lead at Arrowhead Stadium.
Then the game turned on a dime.
The Texans had an opportunity to step on the Chiefs’ throats, facing fourth and a short yard at the Kansas City 13 early in the second quarter. A touchdown on the drive would give them a 28-0 lead.
Bill O’Brien balks
Head coach Bill O’Brien appeared to take the aggressive tack, sending his offense out on the field to go for the first down. But the Texans weren’t able to get the play ready on time and burned a timeout as the play clock wound down.
