Last week when the Texans were beating the Raiders the Texans' offense did absolutely nothing in the second half. The two mouthbreathers in charge of the offense decided to sit on the ball. I thought that was a terrible idea at the time because the offense needs to play and learn and execute, not just run the clock. Today the offense is 0-6 on third down, and you certainly reap what you sow.
Watch and see if the Cardinals let up in the second half. You can bet that they won't and that they'll keep scoring all throughout the half. They may slow down late in the fourth. But they won't just go to sleep now like the Texans did last week.
It's the difference between a competent head coach and a head coach with no idea what he's doing.
