The Houston Texans had the Cleveland Browns right where they wanted them.
On a second-and-10 in the second quarter of Week 13, the Browns were backed up to their own 1-yard line when they decided to allow running back Nick Chubb to make some breathing room.
The play-call didn’t work as the Texans’ defensive line penetrating the line of scrimmage and held the ball carrier behind the goal line. Defensive tackle Roy Lopez was credited for the safety, which gave Houston a 5-0 lead over the Browns.
Houston couldn’t do anything after the free kick — except punt and back up the Browns at their own 1-yard line.
