What happened: C.J. Stroud connected with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. on a scoring pass at Reliant Stadium, per Ian Rapoport. Houston acquired Harrison in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals earlier this month to bolster its passing attack.

Why it matters: The play backs general manager Nick Caserio's midseason move to reunite Stroud and Harrison on the field in Houston. After an uneven stint in Arizona, Harrison gives the Texans a boundary target who already knows Stroud's timing and adjustments.

What to watch: Houston will look to expand Harrison's route tree and target share as the regular season continues.
