Most of the country didn't watch Vance Joseph's egregious clock management today, and you're all better off for it. A summary:

-on 4th and 9 from the Houston 44, down 13-10, with 23 seconds left in the first half and Houston holding two timeouts, they decided to attempt a 62 yard field goal. It was missed, Houston got into field goal range, and kicked their own field goal to make it 16-10 at halftime.
-After getting the ball back on their own 14, down 2 with 2 timeouts and 3:30 left on the clock, they ran the ball on 1st and 10 and let 30 seconds tick off before running the next play. If they'd failed to convert and faced a fourth down, it would have been nice to be able to punt!
-After converting a 4th and 8 to reach the Houston 37 yard line with 43 seconds left and one timeout, the Broncos then threw a TE screen pass for 5 yards, let 30 seconds tick off the clock, ran the ball, then called their final timeout with 3 seconds left to attempt a 50 yard field goal. Like many 50 yard field goals, it was missed.
