C.J. Stroud hopes loss to Jets 'a wake-up call' for Texans

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- On a night when he was sacked a career-high eight times, quarterback C.J. Stroud called the Houston Texans' 21-13 loss to the New York Jets "embarrassing."

Stroud had a Thursday night he would prefer to forget, completing a career-worst 36% of his passes for 191 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions.

"To come out here on a prime-time game and get embarrassed, that is never fun," Stroud said. "We have to be better in a lot of areas, and it starts with me. There's plays I gotta make, throws I gotta make.
