C.J. Stroud presents a challenge to Browns defense

The Cleveland Browns will face a familiar foe on Saturday when they take on the Houston Texans in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs.

It was just 17 days ago, after all, that the two teams played each other at NRG Stadium, a day that saw the Browns jump out to a 36-7 lead before allowing a pair of garbage-time touchdowns to the Texans.

There is one major difference this time, however, as the Browns will be facing a Houston offense led by quarterback C.J. Stroud, who missed the regular-season game with a concussion, as opposed to Case Keenum and Davis Mills, who combined to complete just 53 percent of their pass attempts that day, while tossing two interceptions and taking three sacks.
