WATCH: Rashid Shaheed scores on 34-yard touchdown catch vs. Texans

Now that’s what we’re talking about. The Houston Texans defense gave the New Orleans Saints offense some issues early in Sunday’s matchup, but they struck back on a 34-yard touchdown pass to Rashid Shaheed. The second-year wide receiver broke free of coverage on a skinny post route that split the corner covering him from the safety helping out over the top, and a well-placed throw from Derek Carr hit him in the end zone for six points.

It’s exactly what the offense needed after a lackluster start. Hopefully they can keep it up in the second half.

Shaheed is responsible for each of the team’s two longest scoring plays this season between this 34-yard touchdown catch and a 76-yard punt return for a touchdown back in Week 3. He’s an important playmaker for this team and it’s important they keep him involved.
