Stroud’s arm and legs lift Texans past Titans, 26-3

Houston finishes with a flourish

C.J. Stroud’s 9-yard touchdown pass to Jaylin Noel supplied the final points Sunday as the visiting Houston Texans defeated the Tennessee Titans 26-3 at Nissan Stadium. Stroud also scored on a 2-yard run, helping Houston build a 19-3 lead after three quarters before the fourth-quarter touchdown.

Field goals shape the first half

Tennessee opened the scoring when Joey Slye made a 30-yard field goal in the first period. Ka’imi Fairbairn answered with a 45-yard field goal for Houston, leaving the teams tied 3-3 after one quarter.

Fairbairn added three more field goals in the second period, from 35, 26 and 53 yards. Houston led 12-3 at halftime. The quarter-by-quarter scoring was Houston 3, 9, 7 and 7, and Tennessee 3, 0, 0 and 0.

Stroud provides the two touchdowns

The Texans’ only third-quarter scoring play was Stroud’s 2-yard rushing touchdown, followed by Fairbairn’s kick for a 19-3 score. In the fourth, Stroud connected with Noel for 9 yards, and Fairbairn’s extra point completed the scoring at 26-3.

Stroud completed 26 of 34 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown. Houston’s Woody Marks carried 15 times for 62 yards, while Xavier Hutchinson had four receptions for 65 yards.

Titans held to three points

Cam Ward completed 23 of 36 passes for 170 yards with one interception for Tennessee. Tony Pollard rushed 14 times for 52 yards, and Wan’Dale Robinson caught six passes for 53 yards.

The announced attendance was 52,097. The Texans moved to 1-4, while the Titans fell to 0-5.
