- The Indianapolis Colts went for it on 4th down in a tied overtime game from their own side of the field and failed to convert.
- The Texans got the ball from the Colts’ 43, completed a 24-yard pass, then kicked the game-winning field goal.
- While many in the NFL world questioned the decision, Colts head coach Frank Reich said the team was not going to tie and he would go for it every time.
A questionable decision on 4th down in overtime cost the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, as they lost, 37-34, to the Houston Texans.
After trading field goals in overtime, Andrew Luck got the ball with 1:50 left to play and got the Colts up to their 43-yard line. Facing 4th-and-4 with 27 seconds left, the Colts decided to go for it rather than punting the ball. That turned out to be a bad decision.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
