HOUSTON – Houston’s D’Angelo Ross returned a blocked extra point for two points in the fourth quarter of the Texans’ wild-card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers Saturday.
The rare play came after Ladd McConkey scored on an 86-yard reception early in the fourth quarter. Cameron Dicker’s extra point attempt was blocked by Denico Autry.
Dicker tried to knock the ball down, but it bounced off his hands and Ross grabbed it and returned it for the score that pushed Houston’s lead to 25-12.
It was the ninth extra point returned for a score since 2000 and the first in the playoffs in that span, according to Sportradar. It happened once in the 2024 regular season when the Eagles did it against Tampa Bay on Sept. 29.
