A 23-7 halftime lead and five interceptions was not enough for the Texans to escape Week 10 with a victory after Detroit outscored Houston 19-0 after the break to steal away the win. Even so, Metchie notched his first professional touchdown after overcoming cancer his rookie season, offering flanking production opposite Tank Dell after Nico Collins was activated from injured reserve but announced as inactive against for the team's game against the Lions. Metchie is likely to fall back to a tertiary role through the air once Collins returns, which appears likely to occur when the team faces the Cowboys in Week 11.
Dell and the Texans appeared to be cruising to a convincing upset over the Lions after taking a 23-7 lead into the half. Even while picking off Lions quarterback Jared Goff five times, the Texans would be outscored 19-0 after the break to fall to 6-4. Never likely to be useful as a team's top option through the air, Dell could find more room to maneuver once Nico Collins returns from a five-game absence, which appears likely to occur in Week 11 after the alpha wide receiver was activated from injured reserve this week. Dell will look to take advantage of a soft matchup against the Cowboys his next time out.
