Fernando Mendoza throws an interception that is returned for a touchdown during the Raiders’ preseason game against the Houston Texans. Yahoo Sports reports it happens on his first drive of Week Two of the preseason, while Fox News says it occurs on his second pass attempt, with the interception returned for an 80-yard score.
Despite the pick-six, the broader game outcome is described as a narrow Raiders win. The Winnipeg Free Press notes Mendoza struggles in the first half as Las Vegas takes a 22–20 preseason victory over Houston. Across outlets, the emphasis is on Mendoza’s early-game errors and the timing of the interception, with small differences in whether it comes on the first drive or his second throw, but consistent agreement that the interception is returned for a touchdown in the Raiders–Texans matchup.
