Both teams fought hard, but Houston's explosive offense proved too much for Cleveland to handle as they secured the victory on the road.
Tyler Shough led the way for the Texans with a stellar performance, throwing for 311 yards and showcasing his ability to stretch the field.

Despite Cleveland's efforts, including a strong performance from Michael Hoecht with 1.5 sacks, they couldn't overcome the Texans' offensive firepower.
