[HPF Bob]

The Texans had this game won in regulation. 4th and 1, no Buffalo timeouts left at the Buffalo 31. Go for the 48-yd FG that practically ices the game?

NOOOOOOO! Coach O'Shithead decides to run a sneak against the #1 run defense in the NFL when everybody knows exactly what play is coming and it gets stuffed! If the Texans lose this, that's exactly the play that did it.

[HPF Bob]

Since this is the playoffs, there's technically no "time" left in OT. They keep playing until there's a winner, even if it takes until 3 a.m. They use quarters but they're meaningless.

Final score:

Go Titans.

I'm perfectly fine with their going for it on 4th down. That was the right call. Not the right play call, but the right call.
