Andre Johnson makes sweet touchdown catch on tipped ball (GIF)
The Houston Texans fell short in their comeback attempt at Arizona on Sunday, losing 27-24 to drop to 2-7, but veteran wide receiver Andre Johnson did his best to keep them in it.
Johnson had 5 catches for 37 yards, including two touchdowns. He scored in the first quarter on a play-action pass where Case Keenum found him by the sidelines. Johnson did a great job tapping his toes on the ground inbounds to get the score:
Then in the fourth quarter, Johnson made a great touchdown catch that was even more impressive. He stuck with a fade pass that was tipped and somehow got both feet in for the score to make it 27-24 with 4:34 left. Here’s another look at the catch (the other angle is at the top):
So much for his supposed slow start. Johnson has 5 touchdowns in the last two games, both of which have come with Case Keenum starting at quarterback.
Which catch from Sunday do you think was better, Johnson’s or this incredible grab by Golden Tate?
