ORLANDO – In the third week of the NFL's 2019 season, 14 former Knights saw action and four started, highlighted by Jordan Akins, who caught two touchdown passes to lead the Houston Texans past the Los Angeles Chargers, 27-20.
The pair of scores marked the first career touchdowns for the second-year pro, who finished with three receptions for 73 yards on Sunday. In three games, he now has six catches and 115 yards, over half way to his season total in 2018 of 225 receiving yards.
