Kamari Lassiter almost hit a pick-six on second down.

Jalen Pitre finished the task on the next play.

On 3rd and 5, with less than a minute left in the first half, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson decided to go up in the air again for the conversion.

He paid for it when Pitre recorded his first interception of the regular season and his first since Week 17 of the 2022 season.

Outside of the 69-yard passing touchdown, Houston stopped the Colts' passing attack. Richardson finished the first half 2 of 15 for 81 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Richardson's 13.3% completion rate is the lowest in Colts history since 1991.

Despite the lack of a passing game, Indianapolis stayed in the game due to continued issues along the offensive line.

Houston's defense recorded eight takeaways in 10 quarters after registering just three in the first five games.

Pitre's interception is the first Texans takeaway at NRG Stadium since Week 2.

With a win, the Texans will reach at least .500 in division play in the 2024 season.
