CB Anthony Averett, CB Rock Ya-Sin, S Tre’von Moehrig, S Johnathan Abram
Davis Mills threw for over 300 yards in this game and was a big reason the Texans were leading heading into the fourth quarter. And he was torching these four in the process.
The Texans’ first touchdown drive saw Ya-Sin give up a nine-yard catch, Moehrig give up an 11-yard catch on third-and-nine, and finally Averett give up the 13-yard touchdown catch.
The next scoring drive was set up by Abram being blocked on a 22-yard run followed by Ya-Sin giving up an eight-yard catch to put them in field goal range.
The third quarter began with the Texans driving for a field goal.They got there in two plays. The first was Moehrig giving up a 39-yard catch on third and three. The very next play Abram came on the blitz, but went inside the blocker, to give up containment. Mills rolled left and Averett gave up a 20-yard catch.
The next drive started with Ya-Sin giving up a nine-yard catch. The next play Averett gave up a 24-yard catch. Then Abram missed a tackle on a 13-yard run. Three plays later, on third and seven, Averett and Moehrig gave up a 25-yard touchdown catch to give the Texans the lead back at 20-17.
After the Raiders went up 31-20 midway through the fourth quarter, they went on a drive to try and make it a one-score game. On fourth and nine, Ya-Sin gave up a ten-yard catch to give them first down near midfield. And without Harmon’s pick six, who knows what might’ve happened.
