TheHouston Texans jumped out to an early 17-0 leadagainst the Cleveland Browns before allowing Cleveland to score 20 unanswered points. However, Houston finally got things going on offense again with a touchdown.
Their second drive of the fourth quarter started out slow, with the Texans needed to convert a third and 15 to keep their drive alive.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud heaved it downfield and threw an interception, but the pick was negated due to a pass interference call against Cleveland setting Houston up at the Browns’ 24-yard line.
Following a 13-yard run from running back Emari Demercado, Stroud connected with tight end Dalton Schultz for an 11-yard touchdown to give the Texans back the lead, 24-20.
It was Schultz’s first target of the game.

After the touchdown, wide receiver Nico Collins was called for a 15-yard penalty because of his touchdown celebration. The penalty was enforced on the extra point, but Ka’imi Fairbairn still made the extra point. Collins will most likely get fined for the celebration.
