No offense in the NFL has played better than the Detroit Lions over the last six weeks.

The Houston Texans didn’t get the memo and left the field and set up their offense in top position.

Nickel defenseman Jalen Pitre got in the way of Lions quarterback Jared Goff by tipping over his pass, which veteran safety Jimmie Ward was able to get his hands under for the interception of the opening drive.

Goff has thrown just 22 incompletions during Detroit’s six-game winning streak, including one interception. He has already thrown two incompletions and an interception on one drive.

The turnover is the first caused by Ward this season, who returned to the lineup after a four-game hiatus with a groin injury.

Houston is 3-1 this season when Ward plays, so it makes sense why the AFC South leaders like No. 20 to be on the field and make plays.
