C.J. Stroud’s Nightmare First Half Dooms The Texans
C.J. Stroud played like a man possessed in Saturday's divisional round game against the New England Patriots. The problem was that for a lot of the first half, the Houston Texans quarterback was a vessel for the spirit of playoff Jake Delhomme.
It was a hideous afternoon for Stroud in the Texans' 28-16 loss. His first quarter was whatever: Houston's first two drives of the game resulted in a three-and-out and a field goal, respectively, and his first interception was a bad throw, but New England cornerback Carlton Davis III made a great play on the ball and kept his knee in bounds. Besides, that turnover felt less costly when Patriots QB Drake Maye lost a fumble two plays into the subsequent drive. After a touchdown catch by Char—sorry, Christian Kirk, Houston even held a 10-7 lead early in the second quarter. Then it turned into a horror show for poor C.J.
