Red Zone Play: Too Much Credit, Too Much Blame

I have a confession to make. Before the Texans existed, I was a fan of the Oakland Raiders. When I was a kid, my older brother loved them for some reason and imparted that love of the Silver and Black to me.

Especially the times after they brought in Rich Gannon. He and Gruden were inseparable and operated almost as one mind on the field and off of it.
