The Houston Texans moved their lead to double digits after T.J. Yates found a wide-open Andre Johnson for a 40-yard touchdown. The Texans lead is now at 24-10 and they are in total control with about a minute left in the third quarter.
VIDEO: Andre Johnson Should Probably Be Covered
The Texans drive started on their own 17-yard line with a big play thanks to, who else, Arian Foster. He caught a screen pass and with a nice change of direction gained 15 yards and a first down. On the next play backup running back Ben Tate stepped in and was drilled at the line of scrimmage for no gain but Foster returned on second down with a 12-yard catch and run moving the Texans down the field.
And then Yates dropped back to pass to see a completely wide-open Andre Johnson streaking down the left sideline.
Foster may still be the MVP with 93 yards rushing and over 100 total yards, Johnson’s 86 receiving yards have been huge. The Texans are en route to their first playoff win in franchise history.
