Derek Stingley Jr.'s case to be called the best cornerback in the NFL didn't need much work heading into the Houston Texans' Week 16 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, but the fourth-year pro didn't waste much time before strengthening said case this afternoon.

Heading into this week's game, Stingley had recorded 14 career regular season interceptions, plus a pair of picks in the Playoffs last year. But not once had Stingley taken one of those interceptions back for six. Then again, Derek Stingley Jr. had never played Geno Smith before today, and Smith proved to be incredibly willing to dial up a pass that Stingley would have the chance to take to the house.
