The Houston Texans’ struggles at the goal line were the story of the team’s Sunday night game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Houston cashed in with a touchdown on their first red-zone trip, but they were stymied their next four. The team settled for three short field goals and even got stopped before halftime on fourth down to come away with nothing.
After the Texans had a 1st-and-goal at the 1 and failed to punch in a TD during the fourth quarter, Twitter as all over them.

I do not understand the Texans goal line offense. Don’t they have any plays with a lead blocker to pound it in?

Bill O’Brien waits for everyone to leave the Texans facility at night, goes into the film room, locks the door behind himself, and then puts on that Sark red zone film

Is Bill O'Brien trying to get fired? He's coaching like it

If the Texans lose this, fire Bill O'Brien for the goal-line play calling alone. Absolutely atrocious.

Have I mentioned how incompetent the Texans are in the red zone? I have? Oh, my apologizes. First and goal at the 1 and they settle for a 19-yard field goal. I've run out of insults.

They might want to mix in some power formations and handoffs to their running back down at the goal line. Maybe a QB sneak or two as well.
