Top photos from the Texans improbable loss vs. Lions on Sunday Night Football

Even with five takeaways and a 16-point first-half lead, the Houston Texans managed to collapse on prime-time in front of the hometown crowd Sunday night.

After a three-interception first half from Jared Goff inside NRG Stadium, the Lions stopped making mistakes and turned it around. Meanwhile, Houston decided to have a turnover-filled second half as C.J. Stroud tossed two interceptions, including one in the end zone, to keep the score within reach.

The Lions capped off the improbable road win over the AFC South-leading Texans when first-year kicker Jake Bates snuck a 52-yard field goal just inside the left upright, giving Detriot a 26-23 win.

Here are some of the top photos from the professionals inside the stadium for the Texans’ Week 10 loss.
