In the third quarter of the Week 2 preseason game against the Detroit Lions, Jerell Adams of the Houston Texans showed his overall strength with, as described by the official NFL Twitter page … a “grown man stiff arm.”
The play that will be the talk of the water cooler for Texans fans on Monday began with a third-and-one situation near midfield where quarterback Joe Webb had a short-yardage pass to Adams in the open field, and Andrew Adams (5-11, 200 pounds) of the Lions attempted to tackle the 6-5, 254-pound tight end.
The result of that meeting in the open field resulted in the aforementioned “grown man stiff arm” where Adams of the Texans pushed Adams of the Lions out of his way and to the ground for a 30-yard gain and a first down.
