The Texans (11-8) are still winless in six divisional games. They lost twice to Kansas City.
Houston quarterback CJ Stroud threw for 245 yards but was sacked eight times. Joe Mixon, who was questionable with an ankle injury, caught several passes while running for 88 yards and a touchdown.
Texans kicker Kai’imi Fairbairn missed a 55-yard field goal and an extra point attempt and had another field goal blocked with 1:46 remaining, which would have kept Houston’s comeback hopes alive as the game would have been just one possession balls.
