The Houston Texans bested the New York Giants, 28-10, on Saturday afternoon at NRG Stadium to improve to 2-1 heading into the final week of training camp.
Scoring drives aren’t honestly necessary in the preseason. Starters pick up two touchdowns in six minutes before the second-team defense gives up 14 points and costs a victory in front of the home crowd.
C.J. Stroud and the offense looked promising on two drives even though they didn’t score. Stefon Diggs made a first-down catch while Dalton Schultz continued his quest as a security blanket for Stroud on third down with three receptions.
The defense was the scene stealer in front of what should be the lowest-attended game of the year. Jalen Pitre and Derek Stingely each picked off Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, with the former finding his way to the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown.
As a unit, Houston’s defense notched five turnovers, including three in the fourth quarter on New York’s final three possessions. Third-year receiver John Metchie III might have also secured a spot on the roster after a career day working against New York’s secondary.
