He probably just got caught up in the moment of making the play.

My theory, anyway.
Same here. To me border line selfish play but really no big deal. Houston needs to have better game awareness especially when it is a do or die game.

But that's crazy to me too!
At home in front of a loud crowd, just made a play to end the game, I'd be fired up too!

They are playing a game. Let them h
Have a little fun!

Houston is currently leading the league in takeaways, he would be well aware of that stat. and is probably looking to boost it at every opportunity he can now.   It may be selfish but at the end of the season he may receive higher contract offers from other teams because he tops that list, regardless of how O'Shea sees it.  DB's are the pawns of the league,  they don't have much opportunity to capitalize financially as the competition is stiff and their salaries are low.

Good answer, stats and his highlight reel make him highly paid (for the position) not knock downs.  Just 2 different ways of looking at it, coach vs player.

I rewatched the game... I figured out why MOS was so angry at Houston getting that INT!  He's got $1000 on the game and the spread was 15.5  :D :D :D :D   (Kidding, for the comedy-impaired)

Seriously, though: Say Houston did knock it down.  It's 1st & 10 at the 10.  What would MOS do?  Keep running the ball or go V?  If we get stuffed on the 1st 2 tries, do we go for the FG?  FG or TD beats the spread.  Season series is 3 games, so points most likely won't matter.  Most people hate score-runners.  Hard to say.

I want to give kudos to Brady running his heart out in the 4th, much of it hidden in the mass of bodies he's always surrounded by.  And Walker just killing it, shedding blockers, beating hoggies.  That's just what we need.

Kenny is just incredible.  His last catch he does this weird falling-down-backwards-leg-pushoff to get some more YAC.  You don't see that everyday.  Gumby man returns!

Collaros was seeing it in the 2nd half.  Buck looking like a savant.  Willie had one of his "on" games.  Superb!
