WATCH: Deshaun Watson hits Kenny Stills for Texans’ 1st touchdown against the Titans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and receiver Kenny Stills helped take the first lead against the Tennessee Titans.

The Houston Texans took the lead 7-0 over the Tennessee Titans with 9:59 to go in the second quarter Sunday afternoon at Nissan Stadium.

Quarterback Deshaun Watson dropped back on a second-and-10 from the Titans’ 12-yard line and tossed a touchdown pass to receiver Kenny Stills to give the Texans’ first blood.

The touchdown drive was setup thanks to an 86-yard interception return from outside linebacker Whitney Mercilus, who caught an errant ball tipped away by safety Justin Reid on a first-and-goal play from the Texans’ 5-yard line. The big shift in momentum is what the Texans needed to try to steal a win in the Music City.
