HOUSTON — The Houston Texans could not script a greater begin to their “Sunday Night time Soccer” matchup vs. the Detroit Lions.
On the sixth play of the Lions’ opening drive, Texans’ security Jalen Pitre deflected a cross from Lions’ quarterback Jared Goff and security Jimmie Ward intercepted it.
The Texans wasted little time and marched into the top zone on an eight-play, 33-yard drive capped by a eight-yard Joe Mixon dashing landing. The rating put them up 7-0 within the first quarter.
