Derek Stingley

Too talented to allow their early-season slump to extend throughout September’s entirety, the Texans returned to the victory column through a boost they’ve come to know all too well: a game-changing play, courtesy of Derek Stingley Jr. Herculean in his ability to battle through injury, Houston’s All-Pro defensive back collected one of Sept. 28, 2025’s most memorable plays, turning a ricocheted pass into interception No. 12 of his NFL career. Houston looked the part of the reigning AFC South champions during their 26-0 victory over the Tennessee Titans; along the way, Stingley starred through two tackles, one interception (plus a 20-yard return), and one pass defended.
