Watch: Official steps in to protect Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba during Texans sideline scuffle
That collision nearly turned ugly. Smith-Njigba gave Stingley a shove from behind after the play, and within seconds several Texans -- including linebacker Christian Harris -- swarmed, pushing the third-year receiver into the bench area. For a moment, it looked like the sideline might erupt. Enter Jones.
The Texans return from their off week with a tough game in Seattle needing to keep pace in a crowded AFC playoff race.
The Texans finished their Monday night game at 1:24 a.m. ET on Tuesday. After flying home to Houston, they’ll have a shorter-than-usual short week before hosting the 49ers at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has his fifth 100-yard receiving game of the season and Seattle’s defense holds Houston to one offensive TD in a 27-19 win to keep pace with the Rams and 49ers at 5-2.

Defense superb, offense abysmal: Texans lose to JSN, Seattle
Derek Stingley then woke up by intercepting Darnold on a pass over the middle of the field. This was the 4th takeaway on the day for the Texans defense. (Of course, there was another penalty called on Houston due to unnecessary roughness call on Stingley out of bounds. That was their 7th for 81 total yards.)
Up 14-0 lead, the Seahawks wasted three chances to get more points and potentially bury the Texans. With the way Seattle's defense is playing, a three-score lead would seem almost invincible at Lumen Field. MORE: Seahawks' Zach Charbonnet temporarily silences critics with early TD vs. Texans
