The Arizona Cardinals and Houston Texans clash on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET in Houston. The Texans are heavy favorites. They have the No. 1 defense in the league and have won five games in a row.

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

New York Jets defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, who joined the team in 2025, was fired after a 48-20 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Dec. 15.

The Houston Texans have ruled Derek Stingley Jr. and Woody Marks as day-to-day after exiting the Cardinals game with injuries.

Cardinals running back Bam Knight is unlikely to play this week due to a "bad" ankle sprain, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.

Practice-squad wide receiver Jalen Brooks, who has been with the team since Oct. 30, fumbled the ensuing kickoff and the Texans recovered at the 22-yard line. One bright spot was the defense stopped the Texans after one first down and they had to settle for a field goal. Still, it was 10-0 after only 3:58 had come off the clock.

Two weeks ago, the Arizona Cardinals spoke of the importance of a strong finish to the season. Instead, they've suffered two straight blowout losses.
