The Texans, starting 0-2 for the third time under head coach DeMeco Ryans, struggled in the red zone despite C.J. Stroud’s 353 passing yards.

Cardinals coach LaFleur defends Marvin Harrison Jr. usage after two-game slump

Arizona Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur defended his limited usage of wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. following a 31-7 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2.
