Christian Kirksey has been a model linebacker in 2022.
The 30-year-old grabbed his second interception of the season as he picked off Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger on a third-and-9 from the Houston 13-yard line with 4:56 to go in the second quarter in Week 18 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Houston Texans linebacker’s second interception matches 2018 and 2020 for his most in a season.
The takeaway was the third of the day for the Texans, which had a fumble recovery on special teams and an interception from defensive end Jonathan Greenard.
Kirksey also had a half-sack, a pass breakup, and a quarterback hit in the first half.
