Texans land Marvin Harrison Jr. after first win, aiming for a quick impact

C.J. Stroud delivered another dominant performance on Sunday, guiding the Houston Texans to their first win of the season. Stroud completed 264 yards and a touchdown, while adding a rushing score to the Texans' impressive 26-3 victory against Tennessee.

The Texans bolstered their roster with the signing of receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. following the win. Harrison, drafted fourth overall in the 2024 draft, has struggled to live up to expectations since joining Arizona. However, he made an immediate impact in his first game with Houston, receiving five catches for 85 yards.

Coach DeMeco Ryans expressed his excitement about adding Harrison to the team, praising his playmaking ability and the strong connection between Stroud and Harrison from their time together at Ohio State. Ryans emphasized that Harrison will come into the Texans with a clean slate, focusing on being a great teammate and helping the team succeed.

Meanwhile, Houston's defense showed significant improvement on Sunday, allowing just 187 total yards in the game. The unit forced two turnovers and held the Titans to just 187 yards after posting an average of 343.75 yards per game in the first four weeks. Defensive player of the game Will Anderson led the defense with seven sacks and 10 tackles for loss, setting new NFL records in the process.
