Texans counter Browns score with C.J. Stroud TD pass

The Houston Texans regained the lead in their AFC Wild Card Game with the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

The AFC South champs got a touchdown pass from rookie star C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins, who has become a lethal threat.

After the PAT, it was 10-7 Texans at the end of the first quarter.

Houston had scored first on a field goal but Joe Flacco led a six-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with a short run by Kareem Hunt.

Both offenses, particularly the quarterbacks, were seeing early success.

Flacco was 9-of-10 for 129 yards in the first 15 minutes; Stroud was 6-of-10 for 107 yards.
