  "account": "Houston's Las Vegas Raiders defeated the Texans 22-20 in a preseason game on Thursday night. Top draft pick Fernando Mendoza, the Heisman Trophy winner, struggled in his second preseason game, throwing an interception that Houston returned for a touchdown early in the second half. C.J. Stroud led the Texans with a touchdown on his only series, while the Raiders rested most of their starters. Dylan Laube's 4-yard run with five minutes left in the third quarter brought the Raiders within 20-10. C.J. Cowing returned a punt for an 83-yard touchdown, and Eddy Pineiro kicked two field goals as the San Francisco 49ers beat the Los Angeles Chargers 20-17 in another preseason game.",
