HOUSTON -- The Houston Texans couldn't script a better start to their "Sunday Night Football" matchup vs. the Detroit Lions.
On the sixth play of the Lions' opening drive, Texans' safety Jalen Pitre deflected a pass from Lions' quarterback Jared Goff and safety Jimmie Ward intercepted it.
The Texans wasted little time and marched into the end zone on an eight-play, 33-yard drive capped by a eight-yard Joe Mixon rushing touchdown. The score put them up 7-0 in the first quarter.
