Game Preview

Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud’s absence proved glaring for the Houston Texans last week.

They relied on a dose of luck and played the definition of complementary football to survive a defensive slugfest against the Tennessee Titans in overtime.

Stroud remains sidelined by a concussion that will keep him out for a second consecutive week. But the Texans’ victory kept them in the thick of the AFC playoff picture in advance of their Sunday showdown with the visiting Cleveland Browns.
