While the Houston Texans may not have actually won the game yesterday, which is the only stat that really counts, rookie C.J. Stroud didn’t stink up the field.
In his NFL debut, Stroud threw 44 passes, connected 28 times for 242 yards, a 5.5 yard average, 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions.
The Baltimore Ravens defense managed to sack Stroud 5 times. 1 such tackle for loss resulted in a forced fumble.
While there was a play or 2 where Stroud should have thrown the ball away, not doing so with every pressure is likely why his interception stat is a goose egg.
