Runs 2:46 | Harrington threw three touchdown passes, two thanks to Williams' spectacular catches, to lead the Lions past the Houston Texans 28-16 on Sunday for their first 2-0 start since 2000. Williams, the seventh pick overall in April, had four receptions for 73 yards. Harrington was 18-of-25 for 176 yards with one interception in Detroit's home opener. David Carr overcame an awful start to complete 23 of 34 passes for 313 yards with two TDs and one interception. Harrington put the game away with a 14-yard TD pass to Williams, whose fingertip catch and dragging feet in the near corner of the end zone put the Lions ahead 28-16 with 4:41 left. Detroit scored two TDs and Houston had one in a 4:22 span of the third, leaving the Lions with a 21-10 lead. Williams leaped for a 31-yard TD, his first, between two Texans. Johnson then easily ran past cornerback Chris Cash, for a career-long 54-yard TD. With the Lions clinging to a 14-10 lead, Eddie Drummond returned a kickoff 99 yards for a score.
