The Houston Roughnecks were expected to rely on their offense this season.
But two games into the year, fourth-quarter interceptions have helped secure an undefeated start following their 28-24 win over the St. Louis BattleHawks at TDECU Stadium on Sunday.
Houston (2-0) scored on its first two drives.
Sergio Castillo capped the opening drive with a 45-yard field goal after Sammie Coates was called for illegal touching on what would have been a long touchdown pass from P.J. Walker three plays before.
St. Louis (1-1) responded when former Washington Redskins running back Matt Jones took a Jordan Ta’Amu screen pass 25 yards for a touchdown to double the lead.
