In a dominant defensive performance, the Houston Texans blanked the Cleveland Browns 17-0 in Week 10 of the 2026 season. This victory keeps the Texans firmly in the playoff hunt, while the Browns continue to struggle offensively. Houston's offense was led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, who threw for 86 yards and a touchdown, showcasing efficiency over volume. Woody Marks contributed significantly on the ground with 50 rushing yards, while Jayden Higgins was the top target in the passing game, reeling in 48 receiving yards. The Texans managed to find the end zone just enough to secure the win. On the defensive side, the Texans were relentless, with Will Anderson Jr. recording a sack and Jamal Hill intercepting a pass, both critical in maintaining the shutout. The turning point came early in the second half when Hill's interception thwarted a potential scoring drive, allowing Houston to maintain their lead and control the game. The Browns struggled to find any rhythm, ultimately leading to their disappointing scoreless outing.
