Texans QB C.J. Stroud maneuvered out of the pocket under heavy pressure.
He threw a loft pass in the middle of the end zone that looked like a sure interception until Schultz pulled it in with no defenders there to contest.
Schultz finished the Saturday morning contest with five receptions for 45 yards and the score.
