Raiders beat Texans with 10 men on the field ... or did they?

Coach Hue Jackson gathered his Oakland Raiders after safety Michael Huff's last-play interception sealed a 25-20 victory over the Houston Texans on Sunday and emotionally told them that he believed the team's late owner, Al Davis, "had his hand on that ball."

If so, that would have given the Raiders 11 men on the field.

An astute reader pointed out to ProFootballTalk.com on Tuesday that the Raiders had just 10 men on the field on Huff's interception, and video review on NFL.com confirmed the fact.

Perhaps that's what Oakland defensive tackle Tommy Kelly was talking about when he said Houston quarterback Matt Schaub "choked" on the play.

Nah he didn't choke. He just made a bad decision that cost his team a game.

According to the media, and a handful around here, Tony Romo is the only QB in the NFL who chokes.

[juck]

he choked. it was awful. Hence he is not an elite Qb

Big choke. If Romo had throw that pick it would have been all over ESPN.

That it would. He has had a couple of ill-timed picks this year. He did it against the Saints in crunch time as well.

the same week their owner al davis dies, the raiders win on the last play of the game with 10 men on the field?

He chocked and Texan fans call him a choker all the time and have so for the last several years since he always makes stupid bonehead plays in the 4th qtr.

Then again we are talking about the Texans they are not a national story

Tony is freaking Troy Aikman in the clutch compared to this guy. If he was on a team that people actually gave a damn about he'd be getting crucified too and rightfully so. He had a time to throw it out of bounds and live to fight another day instead he threw a horrible pass and ball game over.

I actually thought he might have had a real shot to run it in himself from there. I was a bit surprised when he just basically flipped the ball to the defender.
