Improbable 25-yd TD run by recently signed RB Darius Jackson made possible by impromptu downfield lead blocking by QB Jeff Driskel who got in the way of two would-be tacklers.
Earlier, WR Anthony Miller rode the cart off the field for an apparent shoulder injury that occurred with 6:11 in the 3rd quarter.
CB Tremon Smith with an INT, 3:19 remaining in the 4th quarter. Defense doing well with takeaways in this contest.
Driskel scrambles for first following the 2-min warning. Texans kneel out a win in HC David Culley's first preseason game.
I am quite pessimistic about the defense this season, but I have to admit they were solid (though obvi this is mostly backups on backups). Lovie Smith had guys tackling and the turnovers were great, no matter how random one or two may have been.
Final, Texans 26, Packers 7
