Two simple points sum up today’s victory:
- Jeff Fisher didn’t play Fisherball in the first quarter, and the Titans offense scored 21 points
- The Houston Texans defense is awful
Point one is amplified by Kerry Collins’ stats:
- Collins’ first quarter stats: 7-11-141-2-0
- Collins’ 2nd-4th quarter stats: 7-13-96-0-0
Did Fisher decide that going for it on 4th down was not sustainable for four quarters? Did Collins cool off after a hot start? The lack of scoring after the first quarter was likely due to both Fisher’s philosophy and Collins’ play.
