That whole sequence made no sense. Should've just played for OT as soon as the kickoff got blown up.

You couldn't play super aggressive because Houston still had timeouts to get into FG range if JJ threw a pick. And these short routes had no upside to them. Were way more likely to make a mistake and fumble than they were to break one for 50 yds.
