The Houston Texans pulled off a four-point win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, 20-16, as fans debated whether kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn successfully made an extra point.

The debate started after Texans wide receiver Nico Collins ran the ball seven yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. Fairbairn came into the game to attempt the extra point. He kicked the ball and appeared as though he may have missed it wide left.

However, NFL officials said the kick was good. It sparked a debate on social media over whether the officials made the correct call.

CBS’ rules analyst Gene Steratore explained that Fairbairn’s kick went over the outside edge of the upright. The kick couldn’t be reviewed, according to NFL rules.

Houston picked up the crucial point and was able to hold off the Colts the rest of the way for the win.

C.J. Stroud made his first start since being taken out with a concussion. He was 22-of-35 with 276 passing yards, an interception and two sacks.
