Stroud with 21 seconds left to help set up the winning 38-yard field goal as time expired in the Texans' 30-27 victory at Cincinnati. Schultz caught four passes for 71 yards with three counting among Houston's 10 longest plays from scrimmage.

San Francisco starting running back Christian McCaffrey rushed 16 times for 95 yards and caught six passes for 47 in the 49ers' 34-3 victory at Jacksonville. However, McCaffrey was held without a touchdown, ending his streak of consecutive games with a score at 17, which tied an NFL record (including playoffs) by Baltimore Colts' Hall of Famer Lenny Moore in 1963-64. McCaffrey maintained his NFL rushing lead, as he has all season, with 747 yards. He is tied with Miami's Raheem Mostert for the league lead in touchdowns, with 13.
