But Stroud put the Texans again on prime 13-12, finishing a 31-yard move to Noah Brown to arrange a 1-yard TD run on a quarterback sneak. Brown was initially flagged for stepping out of bounds, however officers later allowed the catch after figuring out the ball was tipped on the line of scrimmage. The 2-level conversion was no good.
