First, Derek Stingley Jr.
Now Kamari Lassiter.
Both Houston Texans cornerbacks can say they’ve intercepted No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams on primetime television.
The Bears’ rookie quarterback escaped a sack from Danielle Hunter but tried to do too much and underthrew a pass intended for Rome Odunze. Lassiter, the Texans’ second-round pick out of Georgia, intercepted the pass for his career pick in the pros.

Nicknamed ‘Locksmith,’ Lassiter had an interception erased earlier in the game by a defensive holding penalty. His pick was the second straight Chicago drive that ended in turnover.
The Texans secondary, which allowed three 50-yard completions a week ago, has kept Chicago’s passing attack in check for most of the evening.
The pair of interceptions bring Houston’s season total to three. Lassiter also is the second member of the Texans’ rookie class to create a turnover, joining third-round safety Calen Bullock.
