Houston's defense did its part in forcing turnovers, hence Lions quarterback Jared Goff 's five interceptions. But Stroud and Houston's offense failed to fully capitalize on Detroit's errors. Stroud finished the game with 232 passing yards and a touchdown on 19-of-33 completions while also getting sacked four times for a loss of 40 yards.

Amid the injuries to the wide receiver position, the Texans still are 6-2 on the season as they await the return of Collins. They picked up a 23-20 win over the Indianapolis Colts to complete a sweep o the division rival, and will play a reeling 2-6 New York Jets team coming off of a brutal loss to the New England Patriots.
