No doubt. But, as I said, it did count for the Titans and the others in the Wild Card hunt. At what point does the "integrity of the game" come into play? Suppose that Houston committed a personal foul and the ball was put back to the 22? Do you try a pass which has a very low percentage of success, or a 37 yard PAT which has a very high percentage?
I hate giving the game away too. I realize Houston is on their 47th QB, but still, it has been a dream season for us - we’ve never gotten this far. I can see both sides, but as a fan, we wanted to win. That is why I loved Coach Leach (college) - he looked at each game individually - it didn’t matter if you won last week, this week was all that mattered. The NFL is a business with union employees though - so I guess it runs differently.
