WATCH: Texans Regain Brief Lead vs. Browns on Pass From C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins

The Houston Texans found the end zone for the first time on the day on a screen pass from C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins.

The Houston Texans struck first in Saturday afternoon's wild card matchup against the Cleveland Browns with a Ka'imi Fairbairn field goal, but it didn't take long for Cleveland to gain a 7-3 lead on the next possession.

In what became a back-and-forth ending to the first quarter, however, the Texans went back in front on a screen pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud to wide receiver Nico Collins. You can view the play below.

This catch marked Collins' third of the day, and it gave Stroud 107 passing yards on six completions at the end of the first quarter.

The Texans' first scoring drive was a promising one where they had to settle for a field goal in a goal-to-go situation. Fairbairn's kick came from just 21 yards out, but Houston held a 10-7 lead before yet another scoring answer from Cleveland on the ensuing possession.
