The Houston Texans had a solid secondary in 2024 and the defense finished with 19 interceptions, the second-most interceptions in the NFL. This was five fewer than the Minnesota Vikings accumulated and 15 more than the league-worst four posted by the Cleveland Browns. But Derek Stingley Jr. is forecasting a pretty dramatic and extremely unlikely increase in the intercepting arts in 2025 with the addition of C.J. Gardner-Johnson over the offseason.
"Going based off of last year, plus the guys we got now, we should lead in interceptions probably by at least about 10 to 15," Stingley told ESPN. "I mean, we know we can get the ball. We just got to keep going to get the ball."
