The evil empire in the 70's was the Steelers, now its the Patriots, in the 80's and half the 90's it was the 49ers. The NFL picks a favorite son, and the refs give them special calls. It's been happening since the merger. TV has gotten better at catching the ghost calls. And Houston has never been the team that the ghost calls worked for.
I had to go back and rewatch the play, and your memory is better than mine, it was Dan Pastorini throwing that ball. My faulty memory on that one
