The Texans and Browns were in a tight game after the first quarter

The Houston Texans regained the lead in their AFC Wild Card Game with the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

The AFC South champs got a touchdown pass from rookie star C.J. Stroud to Nico Collins, who has become a lethal threat.

After the PAT, it was 10-7 Texans at the end of the first quarter.

Houston had scored first on a field goal but Joe Flacco led a six-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with a short run by Kareem Hunt.

Both offenses, particularly the quarterbacks, were seeing early success.

Flacco was 9-of-10 for 129 yards in the first 15 minutes; Stroud was 6-of-10 for 107 yards.
