Houston Texans turning point: Two plays end up swinging control of opener vs. Buffalo Bills
Texans cornerback Kamari Lassiter was at the center of two plays that loomed large in ultimately losing the season opener to the Bills.
In a crucial moment during Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills at Reliant Stadium, two pivotal plays swung control of the opener. The first play came late in the fourth quarter, when Bills quarterback Josh Allen attempted a deep pass to receiver Joshua Palmer. Unfortunately, Kamari Lassiter of the Texans couldn't make the interception, allowing Palmer to score the winning touchdown.
The second play unfolded on the following possession, once again targeting Palmer, who evaded Lassiter once more to capture a 34-yard touchdown. This sequence of events marked a turning point in the game, as the Texans fell victim to the fourth and final lead change of the fourth quarter.
