To keep every challenger in the AFC South at an arm’s length of distance, Derek Stingley Jr. found that only one thing was required: a pass attempt within arm’s reach of an interception. Presented with said opportunity during the second quarter, Houston’s star cornerback stepped into action during Jacksonville’s downfield attempt, undercutting it for his second pick over a three-game span, followed by a speedy 31-yard return. For Stingley, the performance was as “lockdown” as could be, as Jaguars quarterbacks targeted him on seven different occasions, earning a 0.0 passer rating for their efforts. Escorting the Texans to a 23-20 victory, Stingley complemented said statistics with two tackles, one interception, and three passes defended on Dec. 1, 2024.
