The Chargers now start from their own 28.
Chargers go three-and-out

The Texans now have a 13-6 lead with 4:48 left in the third.
Interception called back!
Wow!
What a turn of events. The Texans’ fourth turnover of the game is no more. Derwin James’s interception was ruled incomplete as he did not survive the ground on the catch.
The penalty still stands, so Houston will have a 2nd-and-30 coming out of the review.
Interception, Chargers!
ANOTHER turnover for the Texans, their fourth of the game.
C.J. Stroud tried to find Dalton Schultz in the end zone down the right sideline, but was picked off by Derwin James. That’s Stroud’s second INT of the day.
After a penalty on Houston, the Chargers will start with the ball on their own 35.
Does either team want to win this game?

Los Angeles has only three points off three turnovers so far today.
Fumble! Chargers recover!
One play after a 41-yard catch-and-run by Nico Collins, the Texans have turned the ball over for the third time.

After trailing for most of the first half, Houston now has a 10-6 lead going into halftime.
Chargers go three-and-out quickly
