The Houston Texans extended their impressive winning streak to six games with a decisive 40-20 victory over the slumping Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Quarterback C.J. Stroud was instrumental, throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns, as the Texans established an early lead and maintained control throughout the game. This marks the Texans' first six-game winning streak since 2018, bolstering their playoff aspirations.
The Cardinals, who have now lost six consecutive contests, struggled to contain the Texans' offense. Despite notable performances from Trey McBride, who set a career-high with 134 receiving yards and two touchdowns, Arizona could not overcome the deficit. Jacoby Brissett filled in at quarterback, contributing 249 yards and three touchdowns in his ninth start for the injured Kyler Murray.
Key moments included an early 57-yard touchdown pass from Stroud to Nico Collins and a crucial interception by Kamari Lassiter in the second half, which led to another Texans touchdown. The Texans' victory solidifies their position in the playoff race, while the Cardinals continue to face challenges in their season.
