00:00One of the reasons we've already seen a couple of downs here with two tight ends
00:08and Ward under duress from Anderson, slips away from him, slings it downfield
00:14and it's caught at the 30-yard line by Alec Eilmaner.
00:22Ward looking that way and now will try and extend once again across the field,
00:27takes a big hit and it's incomplete.
00:30And it is no good.
00:39Houston's first shot of the day and Stroud will hand it off to Nick Chubb right up the gut
00:46and Chubb is out across the 35 list, Stroud goes under center and he will do just that
00:53and he will get the first down.
00:55First and ten from the 41 and the pass is caught by Dalton Schultz.
01:03For the Titans defense, it goes from a huge positive for them to a negative.
01:10Oh my goodness.
01:11Oh, the rush right up the middle from Jeffrey Simmons.
01:13And now Fairbairn for the lead from 47.
01:20Money.
01:21Paul and Udo.
01:26Eilmaner in motion.
01:27Ward incomplete.
01:30Intended for Tyler Lockett.
01:32It was M.J. Stewart who got the start today after their first play on a long and lengthy scoring drive of life.
01:40And now after scoring on their first possession, Texans back to work.
01:46And a terrific sign as Stroud finds Nico Collins for the first down.
01:52Might have done a little bit better earlier in the night.
01:54I think I waited until a little bit too late.
01:55I can sling a lot of bull, Ross, but I can't ride a lot of bull.
01:59And another completion for Stroud to Xavier Hutchinson, the third-year man out of Iowa State.
02:06Need the ball inside the 40.
02:08It's Marks.
02:10And around.
02:10Gets a block on the edge.
02:12And all the way down inside the 30.
02:16Hats off to Tay Ersery, the rookie left tackle leading the way.
02:21On third and long.
02:22Titans are coming.
02:24Third down and nine.
02:26Underneath Collins takes a hit.
02:28Holds on at the 25.
02:31Seven of eight on the season, including the 47-yarder earlier.
02:35This one from 43.
02:38And he is just as true.
02:42Six-nothing.
02:44The game record's on the edge.
02:45Have been making some noise so far.
02:47And there's a big bolt for Tony Pollard staying on his feet out near midfield.
02:53Rally to the ball and make a tackle.
02:56He's hit on just one of his last five pass attempts.
02:59In trouble and down he goes.
03:01Sacked by the nail hunter.
03:0498.
03:04Simmons is walking around.
03:06That's Collins and Snead matched up to the bottom of your screen.
03:10Marks out of the backfield.
03:11Stroud stumbles forward.
03:12He's close, but he appears to be a yard shy at the 46.
03:17So now they do have British Brooks, who's been the other fullback.
03:23Tight end in motion.
03:25Marks up the middle.
03:26First down.
03:27He threw a lot of cliches out to us on Friday, but he said, listen, it's the truth.
03:34Stroud with time.
03:36Has a man across the middle.
03:38Stroud's changing the protection because the Titans are at least showing pressure.
03:44Looking to get to the 40 at least.
03:47And he's got a man.
03:49The catch is made.
03:50Did he stay in bounds?
03:51Nico Collins.
03:52Yes, he did.
03:53And he's about a yard shy.
03:55No man's land where neither team wants to call a timeout yet until things define themselves a little killer.
04:03Ward working on that two-minute drill.
04:06Man Jefferson with the catch.
04:12Ward across the middle.
04:14Cut for a first down all the way to the 40-yard line of the Texans to Calvin Ridley.
04:23Ward across the middle.
04:27Caught for a first down inside the 30.
04:29It's Isle Manor.
04:30Wouldn't be surprised if the Titans hand it off here.
04:34They'll do just that.
04:36Pollard spinning his way down inside the 25.
04:40So the reason why they ran it there is they want to take it all the way down.
04:44Sly has already missed from 41 today.
04:47Here's 43.
04:48And he did it again.
04:52Pushed it right.
04:53Oh boy.
04:55Two for eight in the first half on third downs.
04:58Remember, they came into the game worst in the NFL.
05:01And they'll convert there with Chubb down inside the 45.
05:06Quick to snap.
05:09Marks met in the backfield and he's stuffed.
05:11And it's fourth down.
05:13Jeffrey Simmons leading the charge.
05:15This would be his long on the season.
05:19A 54-yard attempt.
05:22Nope.
05:27Ward's 7 of 18 today.
05:30Instead, into the belly of Chestnut and he'll go nowhere.
05:35Not as many penalties, too, for these teams, which is a positive.
05:39Marks.
05:41Able to carry Barton for a couple of extra yards.
05:43And he'll pick up the first down.
05:44He's got the power and the quickness.
05:49Stroud going deep.
05:52In stride.
05:53Caught by Collins.
05:55And Nico has the first down on second and 33.
06:01He gets 37.
06:05Stroud keeps.
06:07Gets his head down that left side.
06:10And it looks like the spot will give it to him.
06:12Stroud with time.
06:20And Collins first down inside the 15.
06:25And there we go.
06:27The Houston Texans in the red zone looking for their first red zone touchdown of the year.
06:33He's in our first red zone trip today.
06:36We got an actual chance of the touchdown.
06:40Stroud on the rollout.
06:41Marks has it.
06:43Into the end zone.
06:45Touchdown, Houston.
06:47Their first red zone score of the year.
06:50They just totally lost Woody Marks.
06:55Look at him come underneath the formation.
06:59Roger McCreary, the nickelback, was closest to him.
07:03That doesn't necessarily mean it's his responsibility.
07:06But either Woods or McCreary got caught with their eyes inside.
07:11Needs some movement soon.
07:15Here's Pollard with the catch and run.
07:19First down, will it stand?
07:21A flag behind the line?
07:23No, it will not.
07:24It's coming back.
07:26Looks like a hold.
07:26Lock in the back.
07:27Offense number 75.
07:29Ten-yard penalty.
07:31Go for it down.
07:32Chestnut is the offset back.
07:38Ward stepping up, extending the play.
07:41Off the pump fake.
07:42Got a run for it.
07:43Dives forward and he's got it across the 45.
07:48Moving closer to midfield.
07:52Empty set.
07:54Finds another seam.
07:55And off the ricochet.
07:57It's intercepted.
07:59Picked off by Derek Stingley Jr.
08:02And the Texans get the takeaway.
08:07Theoretically run it.
08:08I don't think they're going to.
08:13Stroud.
08:14They pick up the blitz.
08:16He's got a man out in the flat.
08:18Christian Kirk has it for a first down.
08:22Chubb now in the backfield on second and ten.
08:26Noel in motion.
08:28Chubb the other way with it.
08:29Inside the 25.
08:32Third down and three.
08:40Pressure off the edge.
08:42Picked up.
08:42Stroud going deep.
08:43He's got a man in the end zone.
08:45Touchdown.
08:46Jaden Higgins.
08:49And the rookie has the first of his career.
08:52They've wanted Higgins, middle of your screen, to get the ball more.
08:56It's just a slot fade against Amani Hooker.
09:00And you love that matchup if you're the Texans.
09:08Against the four-man rush.
09:11Ward is flushed.
09:12On the move.
09:13Tripped up.
09:14And down he goes.
09:15Out across the 30.
09:17Diving for the line to gain.
09:20Well, out of the gun.
09:21He better get rid of the ball quick here.
09:22Because the Texans are teeing off.
09:28Ward.
09:29Tipped at the line.
09:30Incomplete.
09:32Could not get it through the front four.
09:36We need you confident.
09:37We need you confident in your reads.
09:39We need you getting the ball out quickly.
09:41They spent a lot of time together.
09:42Paying off.
09:45Marks.
09:47Staying on his feet.
09:48Inside.
09:49The 20 and a first down.
09:50The time my mom ever saw me was when it was a screen pass.
09:53And I got out in the open like that.
09:56More ground.
09:57More pound.
09:58The cutback.
10:00Woody Marks.
10:02Second touchdown of the game.
10:09Line had to keep locks there.
10:11Watched Scruggs and Ersery.
10:13Ersery with the kick out.
10:15Scruggs with the hook.
10:17And that was so easy.
10:20Ward has been sacked three times today.
10:24On the rollout.
10:25Trying to buy some time.
10:28And has to throw it away.
10:29Still took a knockdown from Edwards.
10:31To get this offense and this team to the next level.
10:34And they had not shown that prior to the last three drives.
10:38Got a shot in the arm from the defense.
10:40It's an interception leading to a touchdown.
10:43A fourth down stop leading to a touchdown.
10:47They want to score two after the offensive explosion here in this fourth quarter.
10:51Pollard will give them some breathing room.
10:54And into the final minute we go.
10:56And the defense will right now speak for itself.
11:05First win of the season for Houston.
11:08They get into the red zone.
11:10They score touchdowns.
11:11And it's 26 to nothing.
11:15The final score.
11:17Houston over Tennessee.
