NFL Preseason Week 2 Recap: Houston Texans 28, New York Giants 10
The Houston Texans remain undefeated in this year’s preseason, defeating the New York Giants 28-10 on Saturday at NRG Stadium.
Viewers were able to catch a glimpse of the Texans’ talented receiver corps Saturday, as Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Nico Collins were all able to haul in a reception in their limited playing time. Collins’ 24-yard reception was the most impressive of the bunch, but all three will likely have more than their fair share of moments throughout the regular season.
PFF’s dedicated team of graders was hard at work, analyzing every player on every play in real time. The grades and data will be available after a thorough review tomorrow at 12 p.m. EST.

PLAYER OF THE GAME
If Saturday was any indication, Derek Stingley Jr. appears ready to be mentioned with the elite tier of NFL cornerbacks, as he was outstanding Saturday against the Giants. From three targets, Stingley didn’t allow a reception while hauling in an interception and forcing another incompletion. The former LSU Tiger played at an extremely high level last year, finishing with an 84.9 PFF coverage grade, but he may be ready to take another step forward in his development this season.
