Steven Nelson #21 of the Houston Texans and Tavierre Thomas #2 of the Houston Texans celebrate after a fumble recovery during the first quarter against the Cleveland Browns at NRG Stadium on December 04, 2022 in Houston, Texas. That’s what happened with defensive back Tavierre Thomas. The cornerback said he had been watching film all week on how former Bears cornerback Charles Tillman used to force the ball out. He said if he had the opportunity to get one, he’d force a fumble.
He even told his teammate, linebacker Neville Hewitt, while the two were in the hot tub prior to the game. “He said he was watching Peanut Tillman all week, and I said bruh, if you hit anything on his arms, the ball is going to come out,” Hewitt recalled. “He said he was going to do it. And he did.” The play happened in the first quarter. Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson completed a pass to wide receiver Anthony Schwartz, who tried to turn up field. But Schwartz didn’t see Thomas, who was coming from his right side. When Thomas converged on Schwartz, he punched down straight at the ball and it popped loose. Cornerback Desmond King scooped it up and returned it to the Cleveland 38-yard line.That play set the tone for the defense for the rest of the game.
