Following the kick Brandin Cooks got his number called on a 45 yard long ball that he caught and took to the house. For the second week in a row the Rams allowed a successful onside kick in what could become an ugly special teams trend.
After getting the ball back on the kick the Texans quickly turned the possession into another score and a two-point conversion. Brevin Jordan's first career TD pic. The Texans second onside kick try was recovered sloppily by the Rams. With Wolford and the offensive backups in play the offense would go three-and-out and give the ball back to the Texans with left in the game.
