Deshaun Watson’s first series of the preseason was an efficient 5-of-7 drive capped off by a 4-yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins. The 75-yard, 8-play drive opened a 30-23 win over the Detroit Lions on August 17 in Houston’s first home appearance this preseason.

The Texans are 1-1 in the preseason. They lost 28-26 at Green Bay in their opener two weeks ago.

Hopkins had two catches for 17 yards and a touchdown in a brief appearance, and second-year wide receiver Vyncint Smith caught a touchdown pass from Joe Webb III before the end of the first half.

The game marked former Taylor standout and former Texas A&M 12th Man Cullen Gillaspia’s first appearance at home in a Texans uniform. The rookie saw playing time on offense and special teams and recorded one tackle.

In two games, Gillaspia, a fullback, has the tackle and one reception for six yards. Against the Packers, Gillaspia played 19 snaps on offense and nine snaps on special teams. Against the Lions, he played eight snaps on offense and 13 on special teams.

Webb, who played most of the game at quarterback, finished 14-of-25 for 186 yards passing, with a touchdown and an interception.

Whitney Mercilus sacked Lions quarterback Josh Johnson for a 7-yard loss, previewing what could be a big season for the veteran outside linebacker as unsigned franchise player Jadeveon Clowney continues to hold out amidst rumors of a possible trade.

Houston travels to Dallas for matchup Saturday, August 24, before returning to NRG Stadium to finish the preseason against the Rams on Aug. 29.
