The Houston Texans took the lead 7-0 over the Tennessee Titans with 9:59 to go in the second quarter Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium.
Quarterback Deshaun Watson dropped back on a second-and-10 from the Titans’ 12-yard line and tossed a touchdown pass to receiver Kenny Stills to give the Texans’ first blood.
The touchdown drive was setup thanks to an 86-yard interception return from outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus, who caught an errant ball tipped away by safety Justin Reid on a first-and-goal play from the Texans’ 5-yard line. The big shift in momentum is what the Texans needed to try to steal a win in the Music City.
