Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.
That’s become a common theme for Houston Texans cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., but even the common fan likely could have come away with the recent turnover thrown at AT&T Stadium.
The Texans are up 14-0 entering the second quarter after Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush threw a pick right in the hands of Stingley. There were clear communication issues between the veteran quarterback and All-Pro receiver CeeDee Lamb, but one person’s loss is another person’s gain.

More importantly, it’s giving Houston another takeaway to an already impressive start through 11 weeks for the defense. Entering Monday, the Texans were No. 4 in the NFL in takeaways with 18.
Make it 19 and a tie for third place.

The Texans are looking for their first win on ‘Monday Night Football’ since 2018. They’re also looking to snap a two-game losing streak.
