The first quarter of the first NFL playoff game of the year did not offer much as far as highlights go. The Houston Texans did, however, offer at least one in the form of a perfectly-executed punt block. Unfortunately for the home side they were not rewarded for their efforts.
The Texans, hosting the visiting Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday afternoon in the wild-card round of postseason football, lined up in a standard punt return formation after stopping L.A. on third down. However, right before the ball was snapped, cornerback D'Angelo Ross came sprinting in from out wide, where he initially was covering the gunner. He timed up the snap count perfectly and flew in to get a hand on J.K. Scott's punt.
