O’Brien then went for it on fourth-and-inches instead of kicking the go-ahead field goal.
Oakland used much of what they have all season, an opportunistic defense that battered a seemingly confused Brock Osweiler bolstering a powerful offense that got two plays of 25 yards or more on the game-winning drive, to choke out the Texans.
