C.J. Stroud threw for season-high 318 yards and two touchdowns as the host Houston Texans never trailed and turned in their best offensive showing of the season in a 26-15 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon.

Stroud completed 30 of 39 passes to nine different players for his ninth career 300-yard showing as the Texans were without Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring). It was Stroud's first 300-yard game since Week 5 of last season against the Buffalo Bills.

Stroud's efficiency helped the Texans (3-4) score the first 16 points and hold a 23-7 lead before holding off a late comeback try. He threw a 12-yard TD to Jayden Higgins midway through the second and a 30-yard strike to Xavier Hutchinson midway through the third as the Texans totaled 475 yards
