Texans coach David Culley says he should have allowed the Patriots to score TD on final drive

The New England Patriots had a first-and-goal at the Houston Texans’ 6-yard line at the two-minute warning.

With the game tied 22-22, one would figure the Texans would allow the Patriots to score a touchdown and get the ball back for a potential game-tying drive orchestrated by rookie quarterback Davis Mills, who had thrown for over 300 yards and three touchdowns at that point on Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium.

Instead, the Texans, with one timeout remaining, fought New England.

When running back Rhamondre Stevenson scored a 4-yard touchdown, coach David Culley accepted the penalty that nullified the touchdown run.
