You're a huge underdog coming into a game with talent mismatches all over the field. In a game like that you almost have to do the exact opposite of what your opponent expects just to muddy the game somewhat and hope that by making it a closer game than it should be, you give yourself a chance to pull it out at the end. And to some extent it worked. 10-10 at halftime is as good as Houston could have hoped for. But of course that defensive gameplan depended on Houston's offense to do something, anything. Instead they barely managed to complete 1st downs on any given drive. So it was only a matter of time before Baltimore's talent pulled ahead. Ultimately Houston's OL was just nowhere near good enough to even keep it a close game. There is no amount of gameplanning or QB play that can overcome such a fundamental problem. their offense was relying too much on home run plays or triples. Not enough singles that just move the chains. Getting back tank dell will help that. Quote
