Texans Surge into Playoff Contention After Victory Over Chiefs, Stroud Forgets to Celebrate with Owner

Houston, TX – December 9, 2025 – The Houston Texans continued their impressive winning streak with a decisive 20-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. While quarterback C.J. Stroud’s performance wasn’t his best, completing less than half of his passes for 203 yards and a touchdown, the Texans’ dominant defense, allowing the fewest points and yards in the league, secured the win with three interceptions.

This marks the Texans’ fifth consecutive victory, following wins against the Buffalo Bills and Indianapolis Colts. They’re now firmly back in the playoff picture and could even contend for their third straight AFC South division title.

However, the post-game celebrations were slightly soured when Stroud, caught up in the excitement of celebrating with fans, appeared to inadvertently leave Texans owner Cal McNair hanging on a high-five attempt. The moment was quickly captured and shared on social media, sparking a flurry of humorous reactions from fans.

While some joked about potential repercussions for Stroud, referencing past issues with former Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, cooler heads pointed out that the oversight was likely unintentional. Stroud was later seen hugging McNair in the tunnel after the game.

Despite the minor post-game mishap, the Texans’ strong performance and Stroud’s continued potential suggest a bright future for the team, solidifying Stroud’s position as a franchise cornerstone.
