Was it the lineup,Thomas Caldwell the call, the throw or the (lack of) catch?

Whatever it was, there are plenty of questions about the Indianapolis Colts' last offensive play of the season.

Facing fourth-and-1 at the Houston 15 and trailing 23-17 with less than a minute to go, the Colts took Jonathan Taylor (188 rushing yards) off the field and called a pass to reserve running back Tyler Goodson. Gardner Minshew's throw was a little behind Goodson, who couldn't haul it in.

Houston yielded a safety with 1 second left and the game ended 23-19. The Colts' loss dropped them to 9-8 and ends their season.

Colts coach Shane Steichen defended the play-call after the game.

“Felt good about (Tyler) Goodson in that situation,” Steichen said.

Goodson and Minshew shared the blame after the game.

"I felt like a failure," a teary Goodson said. "I know I'm not a failure, but that's what I felt like. ... I'll never do that again."

Said Minshew: “I wish I’d put a better ball on him."
