Tre White dud in the second half

This game was truly a tale of two halves for the Bills’ No. 1 cornerback in Tre’Davious White. White had an excellent first half against the Texans’ No. 1 wideout in DeAndre Hopkins. The two were not exclusively matched up, but White ended up on Hopkins plenty. At the mid point of the game, Hopkins didn’t have a single catch. Then White punched the ball out of Hopkins’ hands on his first catch of the game.

It went downhill from there.

Hopkins finished the game with four catches for 70 yards on six targets. He beat White beat with a late juke on a 41-yard bomb from Deshaun Watson. White was also covering Hopkins when the Texans converted on a two-point attempt. White did not play at an All-Pro level in the second half when the Bills needed him.
