Cornerback of the Washington Commanders, Kendall Fuller intercepted the ball from Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills and ran into the endzone for the touchdown. The game is played at the NRG Stadium in Houston.
Watch:
Mills intended to pass for wide receiver Brandin Cooks but Fuller came in the middle and jumped to catch the ball and then run for 37-yards to complete the pick 6.
This was his first interception of the season and the 12th of his career. With this, the Commanders also secured their first interception-to-TD conversion of the season.
Who is Kendall Fuller?
Kendall Fuller attended Virginia Tech and was drafted in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders, then known as the Redskins. Fuller agreed to terms with the team on a four-year, $3.12 million contract that includes a $718,424 signing bonus. He was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs after two seasons with the team, where he recorded the game-winning interception on 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo in their Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers in 2018.
He signed a four-year, $40 million contract with the Commanders in 2020 and finished the season with 50 tackles and four interceptions.
The visiting team has been playing fairly decent over the last five weeks and have won four games during this time span. With a big victory against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night in Week 10, they became the first team in the current season of the NFL to defeat the Eagles who were undefeated at this point.
The team has also won games against the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts during this stretch but is still bottom of the NFC East while holding a 5-5 record for themselves. They have very less chance to qualify for the postseason.
The Commanders lead 7-0 at the end of the first quarter.
