The Houston Texans were unspectacular in their final preseason matchup against the New Orleans Saints, winning 17-13 at the Superdome on Sunday evening. There was a brief moment of worry when Texans rookie C/G Jarrett Patterson was on the ground with the sad NFL on Fox music playing in the background; this proved to be unnecessary as he was fine and continued playing through the game.
CJ Stroud recorded a statline of 2/4 for 16 yards and a touchdown, which may not appear to be much but the two incompletions logged by Stroud were catches that the receivers could and should have made.
