The Texans had an opportunity to tie, or win, Sunday's matchup against the Titans with little time remaining — but a massive error by C.J. Stroud ended the game. With Houston down by three points and in possession of the ball with just over a minute remaining, Stroud and his offense were deep in their own territory. As Stroud got some pressure in his own end zone, he ran back a bit too far to avoid it, stepping out of bounds for a Titans safety. Stroud's blunder ended the Texans' comeback hopes in a 32-27 loss. Here's a look at the play, plus why it drew comparisons to Dan Orlovsky's famous mistake back in 2008. NFL HQ: Live NFL scores | Updated NFL standings | Full NFL schedule C.J. Stroud safety, explained In Sunday's back-and-forth contest, the Titans took a late 30-27 lead thanks to a 70-yard touchdown pass from Will Levis to Chig Okonkwo. After failing to score on their previous two drives, the Texans got one last shot to either tie the game at 30 or win it. However, Stroud was sacked to set up a 3rd & 17 at the Texans' one-yard line. On the next play, pressure got into the backfield, forcing Stroud to try and roll out. As he was avoiding a would-be tackler, Stroud stepped out of the end zone, giving the Titans a safety. C.J.

Dan Orlovsky runs out of back of end zone vs. Vikings It's not often that football fans see a quarterback, or any player, run out of their own end zone for a safety. But the rare occurrence was made most famous by Orlovsky. In a 2008 matchup between the Lions and Vikings, Orlovsky was under center in the end zone. After taking the snap, he just kept running backward while he was scrambling.

Putin apologizes for crash but stops short of saying Azerbaijani plane was shot downTAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Shaquil Barrett is rejoining the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs signed the two-time Super Bowl champion on Saturday, while also announcing safety Jordan Whitehead was activated from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s home game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett spent five seasons with Tampa Bay from 2019 to 2023. He led the NFL with a franchise-record 19 1-2 sacks in his first year with the Bucs, then helped the team win its second Super Bowl title the following season. In all, Barrett started 70 games with Tampa Bay, amassing 45 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries and three interceptions. He was released last winter in a salary cap move, signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins in free agency, then abruptly announced his retirement on social media before the start of training camp in July. Barrett, who also won a Super Bowl during a four-season stint with the Denver Broncos, decided to unretire last month. He signed with the Bucs after clearing waivers earlier in the week. Whitehead has missed the past four games with a pectoral injury. His return comes of the heels of the Bucs placing safety Christian Izien on IR with a pectoral injury. On Saturday, the Bucs also activated rookie wide receiver Kameron Johnson from IR and elevated punter Jack Browning to the active roster from the practice squad. ___ NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl The Associated PressRams WR Demarcus Robinson not suspended, will play Sunday after arrest on DUI suspicion
