On Sunday afternoon, the Houston Texans hit the field at home vs the New York Giants, looking for their third straight win after opening the season with a rough patch. This game marked the return of wide receiver Tank Dell, who had missed well over a year due to a catastrophic leg injury.
The Texans got off to a shaky start to this one, losing 7-3 after the end of the first quarter, but things took a turn when Marvin Harrison Jr. scored his first touchdown since the trade that sent him to Houston from the Arizona Cardinals.
Earlier in the game, Dell had gotten his first reception since his return to the Texans' lineup.
Harrison's touchdown came at an important time for the Texans, with the team trailing 14-6 and in need of some offense before the halftime break.
The Texans traded for Harrison Jr., hoping that they would be able to unleash some of the elite potential that allowed him to be one of the top picks of the draft by the Cardinals a couple of years ago. The former Ohio State standout had gotten off to a rough start to his career in Arizona, but perhaps Sunday's touchdown will be a sign of things to come in Houston.
Meanwhile, the Texans' defense reverted to some of its frustrating habits from earlier in the season in this one, allowing JJ McCarthy to put together some big drives for the Giants, but Houston's offense finally looks to be turning a corner.
