In his debut against the Buffalo Bills, he corralled quarterback Josh Allen for two sacks and even had a fumble recovery on special teams. On a 3rd down tonight, Houston recorded his first sack since 2022 when he tackled Texans quarterback CJ Stroud in the backfield,

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.

A frustrated C.J. Stroud placed the blame on himself and the offense for the second-half woes that sunk the Texans in their loss to the Lions on Sunday night.
