Texans rookie WR Vyncint Smith catches game-winning touchdown

It was a heady moment for Texans rookie wide receiver Vyncint Smith as he tumbled into the end zone for the game-winning touchdown.

The speedy former Division II standout from Limestone College needed a big play as he tries to compete for a roster spot.

His 41-yard touchdown catch on a Joe Webb pass Saturday night to beat the San Francisco 49ers should provide a boost to his stock.

"It was very special to get my first touchdown," Smith said. "Second catch, and it's the biggest of my NFL career so far. I'm enjoying it either way.
