The voice of Joe Buck calling the game last night on ESPN, Buck and Aikman absolutely sensational,

0:05.3

as always.

0:06.5

And then Houston Texan's head coach, D'emico Ryan's.

0:10.3

D'emico had a lot to say after last night's game.

0:14.6

And we will get to some of that in a moment.

0:18.0

But first, the play calls there.

0:26.3

When you get down by the goal line there, and look, like, I can understand to a degree,

0:28.8

you don't want to run the ball with Nick Chubb.

0:35.4

Like, you can't run the ball with Nick Chubb because he's not fast enough to get to the edge at the goal line.

0:39.7

And, like, Vita Vaya is going to absolutely blow up the middle of the offensive line for the Houston Texans. So I can understand, like not

0:43.7

wanting to run with Nick Chub there. You also have Woody Marks, who I've been calling for months

0:49.0

with Joe Mixing out to be the primary running back of this team, well, actually looked good and

1:42.1

And he can't find Nico Collins who's covered in the end zone by
