It’s not a bird.
It’s not a plane.
It’s a second “thicc-six” for Derek Barnett.
The Houston Texans are up by 17 after Barnett piled drove over a slew of Tennessee Titans defenders on his way to the end zone for a 36-yard fumble return for a touchdown.
Titans quarterback Will Levis tried to hand off the ball to Josh Oliver, but the handoff was botched. Barnett caught the bounce and was off to the races.

Both of Barnett’s touchdowns this season came after fumbles he forced and recovered. The first happened in a 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
It looks like his second score will come in a victory, too.
With a win, Houston would secure a second 10-victory season under DeMeco Ryans and C.J. Stroud.
