The Houston Texans offense has struggled in a major way vs. the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. 

However, it seems that late in the fourth quarter, they have finally found their footing - and it couldn't have come at a better time. 

On a critical drive with the game on the line, backup quarterback Case Keenum, who replaced an injured C.J. Stroud in the starting lineup due to a concussion, hit tight end Dalton Schultz on what might be the catch of the year for Houston. 

The catch went for 15 yards, putting the Texans in position for their first touchdown of the day. 

And just a couple of plays later, that is exactly what happened, with Keenum hitting his favorite target for the day, Noah Brown for a short touchdown pass.

The touchdown evened the score at 16-16 with less than three minutes to go in the game and gave Keenum his first touchdown pass of the season.

Keenum has completed 20 of 29 passes for 176 yards and a touchdown thus far, and will hope to get another crack at the Titans' defense with a chance to take home the win.

Brown and Schultz have been the life of the passing game for Houston, combining for 12 of Keenum's 20 completions for a combine 140 yards and the aforementioned score.
