Well, it was a deep ball but near the sideline so I think the thinking was that if the receiver catches the ball, he can step out of bounds stopping the clock. They could've been hoping for the defensive PI, also.... A PI called on the Texans (Wright?) would've gifted the Redskins the win - a chipshot FG.... It was unexpected, though (surprise?)....the alternative would be go for the short pass and get out of bounds for a better percentage FG.....

I thought the new return guy, DeAndre Carter, did a good job.... seemed to maximize the returns, use good judgement on the fair catches and showed good hands... so far.... He seems to locate and get under the ball better than his predecessor....

Watson was sacked 3 times with 4 QB hits. Granted the OL was banged up but I saw too many slow developing plays.... Why does everything have to be 15 yards down the field? Can we get some more quick hitters, dink & dunk plays? Besides Hopkins, everyone else is underutilized.....Everyone! I did like the check down to Jordan Thomas to set up the 4th qtr FG attempt... that guy is a load to tackle, eheh....

The Justin Reid pick 6 was about the prettiest defensive play by the Texans I've seen in a few years.... didn't catch the number of the fatboy D-lineman (linebacker?) that threw the excellent block to spring him....

Not complaining about 7 straight wins but great teams show an
efficiency that we don't have, yet. I'm speaking mainly about the offense... They're really fortunate to be winning while being a work-in-progress....
