description

Entering Houston’s supercharged stadium with 260 pass attempts since his last road interception, the Chargers’ Pro Bowl quarterback had reason to walk with confidence upon entering Wild Card Weekend — that is, until Eric Murray gave him a reason to run. Eager to end both streaks and seasons at once, the Texans’ veteran safety took full advantage of a hesitated, inaccurately-thrown ball, vacuuming in an interception before galloping untouched for a momentum-shifting 38-yard score. Murray’s contribution helped Houston — which collected four interceptions by game’s end — conquer Los Angeles for a 32-12 victory, even as three-point underdogs. At his best during a must-have game, Murray complemented the 38-yard pick-six with a team-high seven tackles (four solo) on Jan. 11, 2025.
