Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud came into today’s game against the Arizona Cardinals with only two interceptions thrown on the season. The Cardinals picked off Stroud three times on Sunday.
The first interception was by safety Jalen Thompson. Thompson was able to fool Stroud into thinking he wouldn’t be underneath the intended wide receiver’s route. Stroud didn’t see Thompson and the Cardinals stopped the Texans from expanding their lead.
