C.J. Stroud's dream of winning the Super Bowl will be on hold for at least one more year after the Houston Texans lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round. Stroud has a clear choice for who he wants to see hoist the Lombardi Trophy after Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans next month.
Stroud discussed the recent playoff heroics of Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels during Monday's end-of-season meeting with the media in Houston. Daniels shined Saturday as the Texans' offense struggled, and the Washington quarterback tallied 299 passing yards and two passing touchdowns in a 45-31 upset win over the Detroit Lions.
