GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — C.J. Stroud and Houston’s passing attack didn’t provide nearly enough help for the Texans’ injury-riddled defense.
That defense produced an inspired performance, but finally wore down in the final minute of a 24-22 loss at Green Bay that snapped the Texans’ three-game winning streak.
Brandon McManus’ 45-yard field goal as time expired prevented Houston from getting its first four-game winning streak since 2018, when the Texans won nine in a row.
“I think our defense did a great job today,” said Stroud, who was sacked four times and had a career-low 86 yards passing.
