The Arizona Cardinals found the loss column yet again, this time falling to the Houston Texans in Week 15 action. The Cardinals have now lost their last 11-of-12 games following their 40-20 defeat in H-Town, and with three weeks left, there's some serious questions the organization needs to answer.

Stroud was pressured on 40.6% of his dropbacks Sunday, but was mostly kept clean. The Cardinals blitzed him only five times, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. And that was largely because the Cardinals’ defense had to account for the running game, too.

Two players — running back Emari Demercado and rookie defensive lineman Walter Nolen — return to the lineup. Demercado missed the last three games with a high ankle sprain. Nolen missed the last two with a knee injury. WR Marvin Harrison Jr.

It was an outing that the Texans had command of in all three phases. C.J. Stroud had one of his best games since returning from his concussion, Nico Collins had his first two-touchdown game of the year, and Houston's defense made sure to take care of business as well, forcing two turnovers throughout.

The No. 1 defense in the NFL got some help with a strong performance from C.J. Stroud and the Houston offense.

The Cardinals activated second-year tackle Christian Jones. He had been on IR all season. With left tackle Paris Johnson out this week and Jonah Williams on injured reserve, it is possible he will start against the Texans. Either Jones or rookie Josh Fryar will start at one tackle spot with Kelvin Beachum on the other side.

The Arizona Cardinals' star didn't seem too pleased after Week 15.

The Texans' fastest touchdown to start a game this season sent them on their way to an easy victory over the Cardinals.
