C.J. Stroud Leads Texans to Preseason Win

In their preseason opener, Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with wide receiver Tank Dell for a 34-yard touchdown during a 20-12 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Stroud, who played impressively in his limited time on the field, completed two of four passes for 41 yards, highlighting his strong connection with Dell, who is returning from injury. The Texans' receiving corps, bolstered by offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs, is considered one of the most talented in the league. Dell, who showed resilience in his comeback, expressed confidence in his preparations and improvement heading into his second season. Meanwhile, the Steelers struggled with execution, failing to score in critical moments despite some promising drives. The game also featured a noteworthy performance from Texans defensive end Danielle Hunter, who had a sack and two quarterback pressures.
