What happened

A J.Hansen pick-six off C.Ward and an early T.Spears fumble recovered by J.Pitre staked Houston to a lead that never felt in doubt, and C.Stroud distributed cleanly to D.Schultz, K.Boutte, and X.Hutchinson to keep it moving. The first win finally arrived, and fans are leaning into the 1-4 gallows humor. Still, 26 points against a division bottom-feeder is the kind of W that answers nothing about whether this offense can hang with anyone upright.
