Another week, another heart-stopping victory for the Houston Texans! This time, instead of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud pulling the rabbit out of his hat with seconds left, it was the defense saving Houston from collapse to keep the Texans on their win-streak. Stroud actually threw back-to-back interceptions on the final two Texans possessions, and with his team only up by five, disaster felt imminent.
Well, not if Steven Nelson had anything to say about it:

Similar to the New Orleans Saints game, Houston’s defense bailed them out of climatic failure time and time again.
