HOUSTON (December 10) - In a dominant performance, the Houston Texans secured their sixth straight victory with a 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. This milestone marks the team's longest winning streak since 2018. C.J. Stroud led the charge with 260 yards and three touchdowns through the air. The Texans' offense got off to a blistering start, with a 57-yard touchdown pass to Nico Collins on the second play of the game. Collins' impressive day ended with 85 receiving yards and his third consecutive 1,000-yard season. The Cardinals, struggling with their sixth consecutive loss, were unable to mount a significant challenge. Despite a valiant effort from Michael Wilson, who caught an 11-yard touchdown pass, the Texans maintained a comfortable lead. Jacoby Brissett, filling in for the injured Kyler Murray, threw for 249 yards and three touchdowns, but the Cardinals' efforts were ultimately in vain. Trey McBride, the Cardinals' tight end, had a standout performance with 12 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns. However, his efforts were not enough to prevent the Cardinals from suffering their sixth consecutive defeat. The team will look to regroup against Atlanta next Sunday. The Texans, meanwhile, will host the Las Vegas Raiders in their next matchup. With this win, they have significantly improved their playoff chances. Injuries marred the game, with several key players from both teams leaving the field with various injuries. The Cardinals' Andre Baccellia was taken to a hospital for further evaluation after suffering a neck injury during a kickoff return. The Texans' Woody Marks and Mario Edwards also left the game with injuries, while Bam Knight and Cody Simon from the Cardinals suffered ankle and knee injuries, respectively. The Texans' victory marked a significant turning point in their season, and they will look to build on this momentum in the coming weeks.
