Packers hold on for 28-26 preseason win over Texans
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — DeShone Kizer was 8 for 13 with 102 yards and a touchdown and the Green Bay Packers topped the Houston Texans 28-26 in the preseason opener for both teams on Thursday night.
Tim Boyle added two second-half touchdown passes for the Packers as Aaron Rodgers had the night off.

Packers receiver Equanimeous St. Brown recovered a fumbled punt in the end zone for a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
