LANDOVER, Md. -- As the Washington Redskins threatened to erase an early deficit, Houston Texans rookie safety Justin Reid changed the script.
On third-and-goal, Reid intercepted Alex Smith’s pass intended for tight end Jordan Reed and returned it 101 yards to extend the Texans lead to 17-7.

Reid’s 101-yard pick-six was the third-longest touchdown play in Texans’ history and the longest in the NFL since Aqib Talib's 103-yard interception return for the Broncos against the Cowboys in Week 2 of the 2017 season, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
