California graduate, Texans rookie Stephen Anderson scores in return home

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Growing up in San Jose, Texans rookie Stephen Anderson and his family were just a few miles from the San Francisco 49ers' stadium.

Now, Anderson has scored a touchdown against his hometown NFL team.

With his family in the stands at Levi's Stadium, the undrafted free agent tight end caught a seven-yard touchdown pass from Texans backup quarterback Tom Savage during the third quarter Sunday night.

"We had a play where you could hook up or break down everything based off the defenders' leverage I had the option to break out," Anderson said.
