It would be the fourth and final series for Kizer, who finished with a 111.7 passer rating on 8-of-13 passing for 102 yards.
“To go out there and get that drive going before the end of the half was really nice,” Kizer said. “We were able to spread the ball around, the run game was looking good, a couple big third downs and, obviously, Shepherd going out there and getting up on a ball that was a little high for him and coming down with it in the end zone. That’s exactly how you want a drive to go.”
Boyle entered the game under interesting circumstances in the third quarter after cornerback Chandon Sullivan returned a Joe Webb interception to the Houston 3-yard line, the fourth and final takeaway the defense and special teams generated for the Packers Thursday night.
Still, the offense needed seven plays to punch the ball in, but finally did so when Boyle hit receiver J'Mon Moore on a 1-yard touchdown.
On what was his only full series of the game, Boyle engineered a five-play, 77-yard scoring drive, which was buoyed by a 40-yard penalty for defensive pass interference committed against receiver Allen Lazard.
Three plays later, Boyle was alerted to a particular coverage the Texans had been showing in practice this week and made the proper check to Lazard, who came free past cornerback Lonnie Johnson for a 27-yard touchdown pass.
