Watch: Texans DB Jalen Pitre records first interception of 2024 in rival game

Kamari Lassiter nearly had a pick-six on second down.

Jalen Pitre finished the assignment on the next play.

On 3rd-and-5 with less than a minute remaining in the first half, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson elected to go to the air again for the conversion.

He paid for it as Pitre came down with his first interception of the regular season and his first since Week 17 of the 2022 campaign.


Outside of the 69-yard passing touchdown, Houston has shut down the Colts passing attack. Richardson finished the first half 2-for-15 with 81 yards and a touchdown and an interception.

Richardson’s 13.3% completion percentage is the lowest in a half in Colts history since 1991.

Despite the lack of a passing game, Indianapolis has remained in the game due to continued struggles along the offensive line.

Houston’s defense has eight takeaways in the 10 quarters after recording just three in the first five games.

Pitre’s interception is the first Texans takeaway at NRG Stadium since Week 2.

With a win, the Texans will finish at least .500 in divisional play for the 2024 season.
