Derek Stingley then woke up by intercepting Darnold on a pass over the middle of the field. This was the 4th takeaway on the day for the Texans defense. (Of course, there was another penalty called on Houston due to unnecessary roughness call on Stingley out of bounds. That was their 7th for 81 total yards.)
During the fourth quarter of the Texans' Monday Night Football matchup vs. the Seahawks, wide receiver Nico Collins would go down with a head injury that would lead to him hitting the blue tent, and then to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion.
Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. had a rare highlight in the third quarter against the Seattle Seahawks.
It took nearly all 60 minutes, but the Houston Texans offense scored a touchdown before the clock struck zero ina loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Up 14-0 lead, the Seahawks wasted three chances to get more points and potentially bury the Texans. With the way Seattle's defense is playing, a three-score lead would seem almost invincible at Lumen Field. MORE: Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet temporarily silences critics with early TD vs. Texans
