Texans get 2 points on rare blocked extra point return in playoff game against Chargers

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston’s D’Angelo Ross returned an extra point blocked by two points in the fourth quarter of the Texans’ wild-card game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday.

The strange move came later Ladd McConkey scored on an 86-yard reception at the beginning of 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 brought Houston’s lead to 25-12.

It was the ninth extra point returned for a touchdown 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 September 29.
