HOUSTON — The Houston Texans snapped their winless start with a 26-3 victory over the Tennessee Titans, as quarterback C.J. Stroud made a compelling case for the franchise to pay him. Houston is off the mark after beating Tennessee to secure its first win.
Houston also completed a major roster move, acquiring wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. from the Arizona Cardinals for multiple draft choices. The deal reunites the former top-5 pick with Stroud, and Stroud called the trade for Harrison a "perfect" move.
The 26-3 result ended Houston's winless opening stretch and was built on a defensive effort that held Tennessee to a single field goal. Stroud's performance in the win has fueled the argument for a long-term investment at quarterback.
The addition of Harrison gives Houston a proven outside target and reunites the receiver with Stroud as the Texans look to build momentum after the breakthrough victory.
