Texans beat Vikings in preseason finale

HOUSTON — Trindon Holliday had his third kick return for a touchdown of the preseason and Justin Forsett rushed for 114 yards and two more scores in the Houston Texans' 28-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings in the preseason finale on Thursday.

Holliday brought back a punt 76 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, bolstering his case to make the Texans solely as a special teams threat. Forsett broke a 52-yard run on Houston's second play from scrimmage and set a Texans' rushing record for a preseason game.

Jordan Todman rushed for 114 yards, including a 76-yard touchdown for Minnesota. Jarius Wright caught six passes for 122 yards, including a touchdown for the Vikings.
