Not sure what the Redskins were thinking those last two plays of the game. A deep, low percentage pass attempted on third down. Fell incomplete, but had it been caught with 7 seconds on the clock would take a lot to get the whole team down there and set for a spike to attempt a FG.
Then the decision to attempt a FG on fourth down from 63+ yards away with a somewhat injured kicker was a headscratcher. O'Brien's timeout called maybe gave Gruden time to convince himself from going for it and calling for the kicker instead.
Either way, this is now the fourth game this season where the opposing head coach made a highly questionable decision that could have cost the game (Ind, Dal, Den being the other three). Credit to O'Brien and the Texans at least for being in position to win these close games.
