Texans Boost Playoff Hopes with 26-3 Win Over Titans

Quarterback C.J. Stroud Returns from Injury, Leads Team to Victory

C.J. Stroud, the Texans' No. 2 overall pick, returned from a two-game absence due to a concussion, leading the Texans to a 26-3 victory over the Titans.
Stroud completed 75% of his passes for 213 yards and a touchdown, posting an impressive 102.7 passer rating.
The Texans' defense also shone, recording six sacks and limiting the Titans to 187 yards of total offense.
With this win, the Texans (9-7) are in control of their destiny and can secure a playoff berth with a victory next week over the Colts.
The Texans' rookie edge rusher, Will Anderson Jr., returned from a two-game absence due to a high-ankle sprain, tying a single-game career-high with two sacks.
