What a Texan Win...and We Got to See the Finish!

Big deal you say. You ALL saw the finish. Yes, but the "we" in this post is the entire Houston Astro travelling party which was on the way to Washington flying the in the Continental charter. We only got to see the finish in overtime because the primary game on the DirecTV feed was the New York Jets- New England Patriots game. When it ended the Texans-Redskins overtime was switched on.

We groaned when Gary Kubiak decided to play it conservatively and not try an extra long field goal. We groaned again when a late hit rescued the Redskins from a quarterback sack and pushed them past the field position they would have had had the field goal attempt been missed.

We breathed a sigh of relief when we learned Washington's game winning field goal would be wiped off thanks to a last instant time out call by Kubiak. We clapped when the second field goal was wide. And were mostly happy (not all Astros are Houstonians, of course) when the Texans field goal attempt was true and victory was secured.

When we got to Washington we even were able to recognize the victors, sort of.
