Texans defeat Bengals 10-6 on MNF

The Texans handed Cincinnati its first loss of the season, defeating the Bengals 10-6 in a primetime matchup on the road.

It was a Monday Night Football matchup that almost seemed too scripted to be true but had a storybook ending.

T.J. Yates entered the game late in the third quarter and led the team on a touchdown drive in the same endzone he connected with Kevin Walter in 2011.

Johnathan Joseph picked off Andy Dalton, just like he did in his previous three meetings against his former team.

The Texans defense held the top-scoring Bengals offense to just two field goals through two quarters and scoreless in the second half.
