Through the first 57:13, they got close but didn’t come up with an interception. 11 times a member of the defense got his hands on the ball, and 11 times, they came away without an interception.
But with 2:47 remaining in the game, the proverbial dam broke when safety Eddie Pleasant picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Then, with 1:52 remaining in regulation, fellow safety Andre Hal got in on the fun and intercepted Fitzpatrick.
The safety duo came up big for Houston, and helped close out the team’s fifth win of the season.
