CJ Stroud's own lineman streak sacks him in the Viral Texans Blunder

The Houston Texans are on the verge of collapse at NRG Stadium. They entered Week 10 against the Detroit Lions shorthanded and missed the services of Nico Collins and Will Anderson Jr. – big hits on both sides of the ball.

Despite missing two superstars, the Texans built a lead of 23:13 in the final period with five interceptions in three quarters. After such a strong start to the game on all fronts, the wheels began to fall apart for Houston.

The Lions scored a touchdown to cut their deficit to 23-20. The Texans had a chance to extend their lead and had to punt after just four plays. The third of these was a fumble by Stroud, although his own offensive lineman took the ball away from him.

Tytus Howard jumped on the fumble he forced and came away with the recovery when Houston then had to punt. The Lions scored a game-winning field goal with the game tied at 23 points apiece.

Stroud will be looking to achieve their goals for another drive as they have the chance to take a decisive lead and hope for a big win.
