HOUSTON (CBS HOUSTON) – “My teammates have been showing me a lot of love. I’ve just been enjoying it.”

Kevin Johnson pulled down his first career interception in the first play of the fourth quarter in the Texans 20-6 victory over the Titans Sunday.

Johnson caught the Zach Mettenberger offering intended for Dorial Green-Beckham and returned it 22 yards before being pushed out of bound.

Johnson said the defense sent some pressure on the third down and he just tried to make a play when his number was called.

“When the front seven is doing what they were doing today, us in the secondary, we’ve got spit coming out of our mouths like a dog. We were just out here having fun out there and it was a good win.”

Johnson said the team was focused on erasing what they put on tape in the Miami game and a performance like it isn’t what they are capable of achieving.

Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter managed just a couple of catches and 17 yards against the Texans secondary. He praised Johnson calling him a “good corner” and saying his length makes him hard to beat.

Johnson’s veteran teammate was thrilled to see the rookie hit his first milestone today.

“He’s been a big part of our defense,” said Kareem Jackson who missed his second straight game with an ankle injury.

“Extremely happy for him. I watch him work every day. He’s been playing lights out all year. For him to get his first career interception, it’s big for him.”

Johnson is happy with the praise from him teammates and putting a one in the interception column, but he was much more proud of something else.

“I’m happier that we got the win than the interception.”
