With the match leveled 27-all with less than 2 minutes on the clock, C.J. Stroud moved his franchise 55 yards in 6 plays to set up a 38-yard FG by Matt Ammendola as time was running out while the ball was flying. Ammendola had just inked his contract with Texans a few days ago because Ka’imi Fairbairn is sidelined with a quadriceps injury.
