Houston Texans, Cardinals
Digest more
Barstool's famed personality has no problem broadcasting his current fear. He fired off a stream of panicked tweets during the Texans' Week 14 win at the Kansas City Chiefs, and he then revealed the bet to Texans coach DeMeco Ryans this week. Ryans was amused, adding a small silver lining for Big Cat in the process.
The Texans took control early and were never seriously threatened as they continued to solidify their hold on an AFC playoff spot.
It was an outing that the Texans had command of in all three phases. C.J. Stroud had one of his best games since returning from his concussion, Nico Collins had his first two-touchdown game of the year, and Houston's defense made sure to take care of business as well, forcing two turnovers throughout.
Texans running back Woody Marks scored so easily, it almost looked like a bad snap was part of an elaborate trick play. The players involved all explained exactly what happened, though.
During Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans' postgame presser after a 40-20 win vs. the Cardinals, he noted that Marks could've returned to the game if needed, but the team decided to roll with backups Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Jordan for the rest of the way.
The No. 1 defense in the NFL got some help with a strong performance from C.J. Stroud and the Houston offense.

WATCH: Texans extend lead over Cardinals with Woody Marks TD
Three drives, three scores and the Houston Texans are in the lead over the Arizona Cardinals. The third drive of the afternoon might as well have been called the Woody Marks moments. For starters, the rookie running back went down on the field with an injury, similar to the one he had been dealing with for the past few weeks.
After a rollercoaster of a game between the Colts and Seahawks, the Texans can now breathe a little easier entering the last weeks of the regular season.
