He also closed the door, twice, on a pair of Jaguar possessions when he picked off a Blake Bortles pass.
The Texans triumphed, 31-20, and the second-year safety finished with three tackles and the pair of interceptions. One of those was returned 31 yards for a score.
It was a sterling effort by Hal, but he stressed in the locker room afterward how happy he was for the team’s success.
“I wanted the win, badder than anything,” Hal said. “As long as we got the win, I’m happy as hell right now.
