They say everything’s bigger in Texas. Today, both of the NFL games being played there are.

A 32-yard field goal from Cowboys kicker Dan Bailey has forced overtime against the Browns, joining the Jags-Texans extra-session contest in Houston.

The Cowboys drove down the field for the game-tying score, despite a looming and nagging sense that someone was going to do something to screw it all up.

They didn’t. But they still can in overtime.

Hopefully the players know this week that if the clock strikes zero-colon-zero-zero, the game is over.
