The Texans also got some good fortune, in the form of controversial coaching decisions by opponents that led to overtime victories over the Coltsand Cowboys, Houston's first two triumphs of the season. First, facing a fourth-and-4 from his own 43-yard-line with 27 seconds left in overtime, Indy's rookie coach, Frank Reich, decided not to play for the tie and kept his offense on the field. The Texans forced an Andrew Luck incompletion and took over, and Watson's 24-yard pass to Hopkins put Houston in range for Fairbairn's 37-yard game-winner as time expired. The following week, essentially the opposite happened: Dallas coach Jason Garrett, needing half a yard to extend the Cowboys' opening overtime possession, instead punted from the Houston 42, and the Texans won the game after Watson and Hopkins hooked up for a 49-yard completion, setting up a Fairbairn field goal.
