Special teams delivers big plays for Texans in loss to Packers

The Texans special teams contributed a pair of big plays in the loss to Green Bay.

Running back Buddy Howell blocked a punt in the fourth quarter recovered by Dylan Cole, marking the second week in a row the Texans have blocked a kick.

And safety Michael Thomas, a former Pro Bowl special teams ace, recovered an onsides kick following a Will Fuller touchdown catch. The Nimitz graduate emphasized that the Texans need more big plays like those in all phases of the game.

There was also a 19-yard punt return by DeAndre Carter nullified by a holding penalty on Keion Crossen.
