What a night the Houston Texans are having with CJ Stroud at the helm! The Texans recorded their first pick-six of the season and it came in utter style. The Cleveland Browns were already trailing, and Joe Flacco’s unfortunate throw added more misery to the scene. Just when they thought the Texans were done, they came back again with another pick-six.

The NFL posted a video on X showing exactly what went down as Stephen Nelson took major credit for the Texans’ touchdown. The Houston team has a 30-point lead right now and the chances look bleak for the Browns team to make a winning comeback. The 4th quarter is about to end, with the Texans hosting a mighty grip on the clash.

It was the third quarter on the Browns 1 & 10 and the pressure got to Joe Flacco. Without hesitation, he slung the ball, missing out on proper execution. To his luck, the ball was picked off by Steven Nelson and he didn’t waste any time running down the enemy lines. At this point, the Texans were 24-14 and the scoreboard advanced to a lead of 31-14 after the TD. As soon as Nelson started running, the HC DeMeco Ryans and the other defensive side members made their way for him to get to the end zone, providing all required assistance.

But that didn’t stop there. The Browns gave away back-to-back pick-sixs when Flacco passed the ball again on Browns 4 & 2nd as he threw another pick-six to the LB Christian Harris. The LB picked it off and rushed to the Browns’ end zone, allowing the Houston team to execute their dominance. This gave the Texans a 24-point lead, making them reach an assertive position.

The Houston Texans are humiliating the Cleveland Browns’ defense

The infamous Cleveland Browns defense crumbled at the hands of their own QB Joe Flacco and the opposition, the Texans, alike. He threw two pick six and on top of that allowed Devin Singletary to run for a 19-yard TD on Texans’ 2 and 7. This might be one of the biggest leads that the Texans have scored throughout the season.

Basketball has stuck with me ever since I was a kid. I remember watching Kobe Bryant sometime in 2008 and being blown away. Like every kid my age, I was utterly taken aback by his moves and abilities as an athlete.
