Texans' Andre Hal, a lymphoma survivor, intercepts third pass of season

Retreating into the Texans' end zone, safety Andre Hal routinely caught an errant pass from Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles on Sunday.

It was the third interception of the year for Hal, who was diagnosed in the spring with lymphoma and is now in remission. The former seventh-round draft pick from Vanderbilt is a key part of an AFC South division championship team.

"God is good," Hal said. "It's been a real tough year for me, but it's been a learning year for me. I learned so much about myself and about life. It feels good to come out on top.
