Throw your ballcaps on the field, Houston Texans fans.
Justin Herbert has a hat trick.
During the fourth quarter of the AFC Wild Card round, Herbert tried to find tight end Will Dissley for a first down. Instead, he tossed his third interception of the afternoon, this one into the arms of All-Pro cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
Address him as All-Pro Sting pls

Stingley now leads the Texans with six interceptions, including five during the regular season. After a 67-yard return, the Texans had to settle for a 30-yard field goal from Ka’imi Fairbairn.
The Texans lead 25-12 over the Los Angeles Chargers entering the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. With a win, Houston would improve to 6-2 on wild-card weekend.
