Leave it to a former Houston Cougar to bring the excitement to a preseason game.
On a first-and-goal from the 6-yard line with 0:12 to go in the second quarter, Houston Texans receiver Tank Dell caught a touchdown pass that was nearly broken up — only because Dell failed to cradle the ball on the first try.
As Dell lofted the Davis Mills pass just outside his reach, two New England Patriots defenders failed to contact the ball, which landed right back in Dell’s grasp for Houston’s first touchdown of preseason.
The Texans picked Dell in Round 3 of the draft to bolster their receiving corps.
