It was not the same story
The scenario was much more favorable for Houston than it was for Sarkisian and the Longhorns. DeMeco Ryans and his team advanced to the divisional round for the second straight year and now have the opportunity to compete for a spot in the conference finals once again.
Hopes are high for the Texans, especially after they showed an ability to compete with top teams, a stout defense, and a real chance to advance in the playoffs and compete for a spot in the AFC Championship Game.
Fans don't forgive Sarkisian
ers made it clear that they have the Longhorns' head coach on their minds as they recalled the situation on social media
"That's how you should end your games, I hope Sark saw the game. Shame on you".
"4th & 6? Texans QB sneak. It worked. Sark would've run a pitch 6 yards deep," another claimed"
"Oh look, a coach not overthinking short yard situations. LOOKING AT YOU SARK,"
It was part of the comments in X, no doubt there is still anger.
