Trailing 10-0 in the second quarter, the duo continued their touchdown streak with a rifle from Stroud in the Red Zone. It was an impressive display of Stroud’s creation ability and a testament to Dell’s focused after he survived the contact from driving defenders.
Houston closed the first half trailing just 13-7, the dynamic rookies will have more opportunities to make their mark in the second half.
