With this win, the Texans showcased their offensive prowess, while the Browns struggled to find their footing throughout the game. C.J.

Defensively, the Texans were relentless, limiting the Browns to just three points. Although Cleveland's Carson Schwesinger recorded nine tackles and Jared Verse added a sack, the Texans' ability to control the game was evident. The turning point came early in the second quarter when Stroud connected on a deep touchdown pass, opening up a lead that the Browns could never recover from.
