The Texans rookie safety picked off Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson in the end zone on a pass intended for wide receiver Amari Cooper on Sunday at NRG Stadium.
Pitre also recorded a season-high 16 tackles, setting a franchise rookie record and breaking former Texans linebacker DeMeco Ryans’ record of 15 tackles on Dec. 3, 2006. Pitre and Ryans are the only players in the NFL since 1991 to have at least 15 tackles and one interception in one game. “He’s been playing free safety the last couple of games, and it seemed like he is more comfortable back there. I thought he played the ball well. I thought he tackled well. It’s a good game, and just have to let those young guys continue to play. There’s a lot of good that they did.”
Pitre is working on becoming a sounder tackler. He leads the Texans in missed tackles, including one on a touchdown pass by Daniel Jones against the New York Giants. “My coaches put me in great spots, I’m thankful,” Pitre said. “He gets all the credit for a lot of work he does behind the scenes. He’s the reason I’m making the tackles and interceptions I’m getting. I’m thankful for him.”
