The Texans dropped 3 straight to begin the season before rolling to a 26-0 win in a working-bye against Tennessee. This number fell 2 points Sunday night.

Stroud and Co. putting up 23 points against this Baltimore Ravens defense should tell you everything about the Houston Texans\u2019 offensive line. Even an injury-decimated Ravens defense will be able to generate pressure on Stroud. However, the Lamar Jackson injury (hamstring) is a death blow for this Ravens offense. Houston will be able to run the football on Baltimore, and just a few clean pockets will allow Stroud to hit Nico Collins deep. The best performance, though, will come from this Texans defense suffocating the life out of a Baltimore offense led by Cooper Rush.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL&#8217;s highest paid players in 2025:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/02\/24\/nfl-highest-paid-quarterbacks-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80033427007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Quarterbacks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/02\/25\/nfl-highest-paid-running-backs-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80067541007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Running backs<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/02\/26\/nfl-highest-paid-wide-receivers-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80291706007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wide receivers<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/02\/27\/nfl-highest-paid-tight-ends-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80368489007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Tight ends<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/02\/28\/nfl-highest-paid-offensive-linemen-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80731996007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Offensive linemen<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/03\/03\/nfl-highest-paid-defensive-linemen-2025-season-salary-rankings\/80861115007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">D-linemen<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/03\/06\/nfl-highest-paid-cornerbacks-2025-season-salary-rankings\/81776303007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cornerbacks<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/03\/07\/nfl-highest-paid-safeties-2025-season-salary-rankings\/81948590007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safeties<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/03\/10\/nfl-highest-paid-linebackers-2025-season-salary-rankings\/82056350007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Linebackers<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/03\/12\/nfl-highest-paid-edge-rushers-2025-season-salary-rankings\/82321691007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Edge rushers<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/04\/10\/nfl-highest-paid-players-2025-season\/83017688007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Highest paid NFL players: Overall<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/04\/10\/nfl-highest-paid-players-position-rankings-2025-season-salary\/83019816007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">By position<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.azcentral.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/2025\/04\/10\/nfl-highest-paid-players-team-rankings-2025-season-salary\/83019957007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">By team<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Reach Jeremy Cluff\u00a0at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jeremy.cluff@arizonarepublic.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">jeremy.cluff@arizonarepublic.com<\/a>.\u00a0Follow him on X, formerly Twitter\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jeremy_Cluff\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">@Jeremy_Cluff.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Support local journalism: Subscribe to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cm.azcentral.com\/specialoffer?gps-source=CPNEWS&amp;utm_medium=onsite&amp;utm_source=TAGLINE&amp;utm_campaign=NEWSROOM&amp;utm_content=JEREMYCLUFF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">azcentral.com<\/a>\u00a0today.\u00a0Sign up for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/profile.azcentral.com\/newsletters\/AZCentral-Preps-Now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">azcentral Preps Now<\/a>.
