Lions go three-and-out
Another tough drive for the Lions offense, which picked up only two yards in three plays.
The Texans will take over on their own 34 with a 16-7 lead.
Lions hold in the red zone, Texans kick again
The Texans had great field position after their second interception, but the Lions held them to their third field goal of the night.
Houston got all the way to the 11 but couldn’t pick up another yard after that.
The Texans now lead 16-7.
Jared Goff picked off again!
The Texans are going to have great field position after another interception.
Jared Goff was hit while throwing, and after the ball bounced around in the air it ended up in the arms of a Houston defender.
Houston has the ball inside the Detroit 40.
Texans add another field goal
The Texans end a five-play, 32-yard drive with a 56-yard field goal.
Houston now leads 13-7 with 8:25 left in the second quarter.
Touchdown, Lions!
The Lions are on the board!
After a play-action fake, Jared Goff rolled out right and found Sam LaPorta for a 20-yard touchdown. That capped an 11-play, 70-yard drive by the Lions.
It’s now a 10-7 Houston lead.
End of first: Texans 10, Lions 0
Nice start for the Texans, who are up by 10 as we head into the second.
The Lions are finally putting a drive together after an interception and three-and-out on their first two possessions. Detroit will have a 1st-and-10 from its own 47 (after converting a 3rd-and-16) to start the next quarter.
Lions make goal-line stand, Texans get three
Nice job by the Detroit defense to keep this game close.
The Texans had a 1st-and-goal from the 3 after a 36-yard run by Joe Mixon, but a holding penalty set the drive back, and the Lions sacked C.J. Stroud on third down.
Houston still added a field goal, increasing its lead to 10-0.
Lions answer touchdown with three-and-out
Rough offensive start for the Lions so far.
They go three-and-out after the Texans touchdown. Houston has the ball back with a 7-0 lead.
Joe Mixon continues to dominate
When Houston brought Joe Mixon over from Cincinnati in a trade for a seventh-round pick, I don't think anyone thought they would get this.
Mixon had 609 yards rushing and six touchdowns in only six games this season entering 'Sunday Night Football,' and he added another score already against the Lions. He has touchdowns in every game but one he's appeared in.
Touchdown, Texans!
The Texans took advantage of their interception and went 33 yards in eight plays, capped off with a Joe Mixon eight-yard touchdown run.
Houston leads 7-0.
