Everyone but the official said it was offensive pass interference on Johnson. Someone else told me they were talking about it on Sports Center last night. Complete blown call and at the worst time.

I've heard so many arguments on that call that it's getting irritating. The first one is that the Texans guy jumped before Albert and Waters, which wasn't the case.
The second one is that one of the Texans seemed to line up in the neutral zone, which caused Albert to flinch a little, since that's what you're coached to do. Haley hinted as much in his press conference, but to know for sure, I'd have to see the play.
The pass rush did flush Shaub out of the pocket..The problem is thats where he did most of the damage..If you look at the game in the late 3rd into the fourth he was consistantly having to buy time moving out and that was just enough time for his receivers to get open...Especially their TE..He was so open I don't know who got burned.:beat_DeadHorse:
The difference that the refs made is obvious.
If that call is made correctly, Time runs off of the clock, and the field is longer for The Texans.
The whole game, from that point on, is very different.
Part of that 35 points is questionable because of that call.
I hate saying that refs cost any game. And I am not saying that.
The Chiefs needed to go ahead and win the game, regardless of that play. I blame The Chiefs for the outcome.
But it was a horrible mistake. And gave one team an unfair advantage.
