The Houston Texans have demonstrated in their first preseason game of the Lovie Smith era that they are at least opportunistic.
With 14:36 to go in the second quarter, defensive end Ogbonnia Okoronkwo recovered a loose ball that was the result of a botched center-quarterback exchange. The takeaway was also redemption for Okoronkwo, who committed a rougher the passer penalty the previous play.
The Texans used the free possession to mount a five-play, 47-yard drive. Quarterback Jeff Driskel connected with receiver Jalen Camp for a 4-yard touchdown to push the Texans ahead 10-7 with 11:54 to go in the second quarter.
Okoronkwo’s fumble recovery was the second takeaway for the Texans on the evening.
