Why the Houston Texans will always lose to the Colts

Lack of thinking ahead.

2:09 left in the frsthalf of their week 9 matchup.
Ryan Moats rushes left and as he is tackled fumbles on the 2 yard line as he goes out of bounds.
The ball lands in the field of play and a Colt player recovers it but the ref rules otherwise.
Moats walks back to the huddle as if nothing happened and lets the Texans just run the clock down to the 2-minute warning without running another play.
This allows IND to review the play and ask for a coaches challenge which is upheld giving IND and Peyton Manning the ball with 2 minutes to go to the half. Denying HOU a chance at a TD.

A) Moats should have told the team to quickly run another play so no review could occur. He DID NOT THINK AHEAD.
