For the second straight week, O'Brien matched wits with a more witless head coach than him. Burning TOs, strange playcalling… but Garrett's decision to punt on 4th and short in Texans territory in OT was not 'playing to win the game'.
That said, I could exceed the character limit detailing all of O'Brien' questionable decisions in this game.

Compare the way flags fly on Kirk Cousins and Deshaun Watson. And I'm not talking about Watson going head first to try to score. Just sitting in the pocket getting 2 handed whacks to the face. The guy gets hit late. Hit in the head. Hit out of bounds. And never a call.
I agree on O'Brien. He's been slightly smarter than the opposing dummy 2 straight weeks.
As for the Cowboys punt, that's a good decision. Their offense was atrocious all game. Our offense failed to score TDs while theirs just failed. If you convert and get another first down you are in FG range and not much has changed. We still get the ball with a chance to tie or win. If you don't convert you are completely giving away the game. By punting they put us on the 10 yard line with 4 minutes left and they have 2 timeouts. Punting and getting a stop gives you more than enough time to win.
