Texans Fall to Raiders in Preseason | Las Vegas Raiders News

Houston’s defense held strong early but crumbled late as rookie QB Fernando Mendoza, a former Heisman winner, led the Raiders to a 22-20 upset — despite Houston leading 20-3 at halftime. The Texans surrendered over 400 yards and 22 first downs, but still managed to limit Mendoza to just 86 passing yards thanks to a standout interception TD by Wade Woodaz. With this loss, they’re locked into a preseason losing record after already falling to the Chargers. Their final tune-up? A showdown against the Panthers on August 28 — hoping for redemption before the regular season begins. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
