HOUSTON -- It was a long wait, but Houston Texans wideout John Metchie III scored his first career touchdown to put the Texans up 23-7 against the Detroit Lions.

Metchie, who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2022 and missed his rookie season, has been waiting for his breakout performance and on Sunday it finally came.

The Texans were operating their two-minute drill and with 16 seconds left in the half, on third-and-10, quarterback C.J. Stroud found Metchie in the end zone for a 15-yard touchdown.
