DeAndre Hopkins started three games for the Cowboys in 2015.
He came back to Arlington on Thursday night and helped the Texans beat his former team, 28-17.
"I felt good," Weeden said. "I felt like I saw things well. Overall I thought there were some good things offensively. We ran a lot of plays. We ran the ball extremely well."
Weeden threw a 64-yard touchdown pass to Keith Mumphery with 33 seconds left in the first half. It came on 3rd-and-3 from the Houston 36-yard line, and it gave the Texans a 14-7 lead. They wouldn't trail again in the ballgame.
"I just wanted to give him a chance," Weeden said. "Put a little more air on it and maybe just let him get a chance to go make a play. When you get hit like that and you complete it, it doesn't hurt quite as bad."
On the evening, Weeden completed 9-of-13 passes for 116 yards. He was intercepted once, but finished with a QB rating of 90.7. Tom Savage started, but Weeden alternated series with him throughout the contest.
"He had the one pick-six but I thought he made some nice throws too," head coach Bill O'Brien said. "I thought they both led us on some nice drives."
Weeden and the Texans finished the preseason 4-0 for the first time in franchise history.
