The Texans’ defense picked up its offense after C.J. Stroud threw an interception on the first play of the second half.
Lions quarterback Jared Goff found rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter for the second time of the night and his fourth interception overall.
The four interceptions mark a career-high thrown in a single game.

Houston has had Goff’s number on the primetime stage. The Lions signal-caller has matched his season total in interceptions in less than three quarters on Sunday.
Lassiter has his first two-interception game of the season at the professional level. The Texans’ defense has matched its season-high in takeaways with four. In the previous four-takeaway game, Houston beat New England by 20.
In the past five games, Houston has 14 takeaways after recording just three in the first five contents. With a win, the Texans jump right back into the conversation for the AFC No. 2 seed.
