It usually isn’t a bad idea to kick off to a 6-foot-3, 255-pound fullback.
The Jacksonville Jaguars did just that on Sunday in the third quarter but Houston fullback Andrew Beck made them pay. Dearly.
Beck grabbed the football and 85 yards later was in the end zone after a beautiful run.
After the PAT, Houston was surprising the reigning AFC South champions, 24-10.
WHAT JUST HAPPENED?! Fullback Andrew Beck has the play of his career on the kick return. 🔥

Beck had all of 14 catches for 159 yards in four seasons with the Broncos, who considered him a tight end.
This was big. How big?
Andrew Beck (255) is the heaviest player with a kick return TD of at least 50 yards in @NFL history.#WeAreTexans @HoustonTexans
