The Lions have gotten on the board against the Texans.

Quarterback Jared Goff threw a 20-yard touchdown to tight end Sam LaPorta, making the score 10–7 to Houston.

Detroit was about to give the ball back to Houston early in possession, facing third-and-16. But Goff found receiver Jameson Williams in the middle of the field for a 23-yard reception to move the chains. Williams initially bobbled the ball, but was able to secure it for the first down.

On the next set of downs, Goff connected with Williams again on third-and-6, gaining 13 yards.

One play after Goff converted third-and-1 with a two-yard scramble, Goff rolled to his right and found an open LaPorta in the end zone for Detroit’s first points of the game.

It was LaPorta’s third touchdown of the season.

Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil had to leave the game briefly, but re-entered early in the second quarter. Tunsil was rolled up and struggled with an ankle injury all season.
