During Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans' postgame presser after a 40-20 win vs. the Cardinals, he noted that Marks could've returned to the game if needed, but the team decided to roll with backups Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Jordan for the rest of the way.

The Texans took control early and were never seriously threatened as they continued to solidify their hold on an AFC playoff spot.

Texans running back Jawhar Jordan had spent two seasons on the practice squad without ever getting activated for a regular-season game.

The Cardinals fell to the Texans after a rough start, as the defense continued to struggle while Trey McBride shined.

The Texans' fastest touchdown to start a game this season sent them on their way to an easy victory over the Cardinals.

The No. 1 defense in the NFL got some help with a strong performance from C.J. Stroud and the Houston offense.

With a 40-20 victory over the Cardinals in Week 15, the Texans are on a six-game win streak. DeMeco Ryans didn't even realize.

C.J. Stroud lanzó para 260 yardas y tres touchdowns, y los Texans de Houston tomaron una gran ventaja temprana para imponerse el domingo 40-20 sobre unos Cardinals de Arizona en declive.
