Texans' Alijah Huzzie finally got his NFL shot, came away with interception in win

Posted Jan 6, 2026

Alijah Huzzie's teammates, however, had seen a lot more than that in practice and had big expectations for him, knowing he'd get his first legitimate NFL playing time in the regular-season finale.
