Glanville Concedes Wrong Move Emphasizing Pass in Oilers
Houston Oilers finished 5-11 with a 16-7 win over Buffalo as Warren Moon, Ernest Givins, and Drew Hill powered a 1,000-yard receiving tandem. Coach Glanville admitted moving away from a run-first plan after a season of criticism and a late 4-3 run, citing his conservatism after an early interception. He credited players for effort, recalled the 13-10 overtime loss to Cleveland, and noted Moon’s leadership against the conservative approach.
