HOUSTON -- Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud said Wednesday he wasn't trying to "little bro" Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams during their postgame handshake Sunday night, an interaction that drew attention on social media.

Stroud was mic'd up during the Texans' 19-13 win over the Bears on Sunday Night Football. After the game, Stroud embraced Williams and provided advice to the No. 1 pick.

He told the rookie "Good job out there," and to "stop taking those hits," after Williams was sacked 7 times and took 11 quarterback hits while finishing 23-of-37 passing for 174 yards with 2 interceptions.
