HOUSTON -- Pro Bowl receiver DeAndre Hopkins couldn't quit smiling Sunday after the Houston Texans' 34-24 exhibition victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

He's beginning to see just how good this offense can be now that new quarterback Brock Osweiler is settling into his role.

"The mindset that we have when we go out there is that we can't be stopped and today kind of showed that," Hopkins said.

Osweiler threw for 146 yards and a touchdown and Houston intercepted two of Carson Palmer's passes to help the Texans improve to 3-0 in the preseason.

The Cardinals are 0-3. Osweiler led the Texans to scores on three of his four drives.

He connected with Fuller on a 26-yard touchdown pass that extended Houston's lead to 24-10 before sitting down with about three minutes left in the first half.
