The Houston Texans were having trouble punching it in from the goal line with time winding down in the third quarter.
Why not use your 6-3, 218-pound quarterback?
With no other options, the Texans went with C.J. Stroud for a quarterback sneak as Houston took the lead over the Carolina Panthers with 41 seconds left in the penultimate period Sunday afternoon at Bank of America Stadium.
Stroud had 18 carries for 55 yards and six first downs coming into the matchup with the Panthers. The No. 2 overall pick can now leave the contest with at least one career rushing touchdown.
