Overview
- The first-quarter snap went through C.J. Stroud’s legs at the 1-yard line, where Woody Marks collected the ball and ran in for a score.
- The league’s official scorer recorded the sequence as an aborted play and credited Marks with a fumble recovery touchdown rather than a rushing TD.
- Because of the ruling, Marks does not receive a rushing touchdown in his official statistics, a distinction that affects some fantasy football scoring.
- Stroud said he mistakenly lined up under center when he should have been in shotgun and accepted responsibility for the communication error.
- Center Jake Andrews said he did not feel Stroud under center, and coach DeMeco Ryans later clarified the odd-looking touchdown was the product of a miscue in a 40-20 Houston win.
