description

Earning a small taste of success during last year’s 10-win season, C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans are now well aware of the work and sacrifices needed to get a leg up on the competition. Week 1’s requirement: throwing from his knees. Earning an endorsement of his coach’s trust through a risky fourth-and-short attempt on the first drive, Stroud — floorbound after slipping on his play-action rollout — kept the play alive nonetheless, spiraling a dime to his tight end for a conversion. The 2023 Rookie of the Year picked up where he previously left off, going 24-of-32 for 234 yards and two touchdowns, alongside four carries for 13 yards in a 29-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts on Sept. 8, 2024.
