The Houston Texans’ defence stunned the Los Angeles Chargers to progress to week two of the NFL play-offs.

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was intercepted just three times during the 17-game regular season.

But he was intercepted four times on Saturday alone as the Texans came from behind to kick off Wildcard Weekend with a 32-12 victory.

Defences dominated the first half in Houston, before the game burst into life with the hosts snatching a 10-6 lead right before half-time.

The Texans then intercepted Herbert on successive drives, returning the first for a touchdown to go 20-6 up late in the third quarter and adding a field goal from the latter.

Los Angeles rallied but Joe Mixon ran in Houston’s second offensive touchdown to book their spot in next week’s Divisional Round.
