Those stats are skewed out of proportion a little bit due to different circumstances.
For example, there were games when we had a big lead.
We went to sort of a prevent defense late in the third quarter.
We traded yards for time, so to speak.
Same thing when we see second or third and very long.
As long we can stop the other team from converting the third down, we don't mind the yards.
Welcome to the board!
I would suggest that all NFL teams (or at least a large majority) put plenty of nickel and dime on the field with large leads.
The Patriots have played alot of games with large leads (larger than the Texans for sure) yet their stats are better - and substantially so.
