If the Houston Texans were going to punch a gorilla in the mouth, they were going to have to give it everything they had.
On fourth-and-6 from the Chiefs’ 25-yard line with 10:13 to go in the first quarter, outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo blocked a Dustin Colquitt punt and rookie cornerback Lonnie Johnson returned it for a 10-yard touchdown.
AND THE @HOUSTONTEXANS BLOCK IT. RETURN IT. TOUCHDOWN.
