The game was close at halftime, with the Texans holding a slim 10-6 lead. But they owned the second half, outscoring the Chargers 22-6 the rest of the way. Houston’s defense picked off Herbert four times, one more than he threw during the regular season. Houston’s special teams also scored a rare two-point conversion after an extra-point block.
