Texans safety Justin Reid ends interception drought

When Texans safety Justin Reid picked off Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew last Sunday in London, it ended a personal interception drought dating back to last season.

The 37-yard interception return down to the Jaguars' 3-yard line marked Reid's first interception since the 11th week of last season when he returned an Alex Smith interception 101 yards for a touchdown.

The second-year player from Stanford intercepted three passes as a rookie before undergoing offseason wrist surgery.

This year, Reid has 51 tackles and two passes defended.

"Playing very well, very versatile player," Texans coach Bill O'Brien said.
