After being one of the best teams at taking the ball away in 2025, the Houston Texans have struggled to generate takeaways this season.

However, that seems to be changing in the second half against the Los Angeles Chargers after cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. got his first interception of the season on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

Here is a look at Stingley’s interception, courtesy of the Texans’ official social media:

It was Houston’s first takeaway in this game, but the eighth straight game Herbert has thrown a pick, so it was only a matter of time before someone with the Texans got an interception in this game.

They are leading 24-9 and have a great opportunity to extend their

lead on their first drive of the second half.
