The breakout season for Derek Stingley Jr. is upon us.
Stingley intercepted Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams at the Houston Texans’ 34 with just under a minute left in the third quarter. Ka’imi Fairbairn drilled a 53-yard field goal to extend Houston’s lead to nine.

Last season, Stingley was a turnover machine for the AFC South champions. He totaled five interceptions and 12 pass breakups while helping Houston clinch his first division title in four years.

So far, Williams has been intercepted twice in the second half. He’s 19-of-26 for 122 yards while averaging 4.7 yards per pass.
The Texans look to secure their first 2-0 start since 2016.
