Davis came up with two huge second-half interceptions as Detroit’s defense shut out the Texans in the second half and the Lions orchestrated a come-from-behind win from a 23-7 halftime deficit.
On the first play of the second half, Davis jumped an out route to record the first interception by a Lions cornerback this season. It didn’t lead directly to points, but it did flip the field and lead to points a couple drives later. Davis said he baited Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud into throwing the out route he jumped.
“If you watch the film, I jump outs all the time. I’m in good position on every out,” Davis said. “And I know this team likes to run out, run out and then go double move, so I wasn’t playing it too hard.
“They were throwing it, completing it and I knew coming out of halftime that they would want to go back to that because they’re a team that loves to repeat successful plays. So, when they back to it they gave me the set that I was looking for and we were in the right call, I knew I would jump it.”
