The Houston Texans defense dropped three sure interceptions against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but cornerback Vernon Hargreaves was not going to add to those numbers.
In the third quarter in Week 9 at TIAA Bank Field, Hargreaves, who was a midseason addition for the Texans last season, claimed off waivers, recorded his first career interception with Houston as he picked off rookie sixth-round quarterback Jake Luton. Hargreaves and the officials presumed he was untouched and allowed him to take the ball down to the Jaguars’ 3-yard line, but an official review determined he was down by contact near the Texans’ 25-yard line.
The Texans made good use of the takeaway, as quarterback Deshaun Watson threw a 77-yard touchdown pass to receiver Will Fuller on the ensuing drive to take a 27-16 lead.
