HOUSTON -- C.J. Stroud's last playoff dropback encapsulated a season-long issue for the Houston Texans: Another snap. Another sack.
It was the eighth sack he endured that day, as Houston lost 23-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs in the divisional round. Since that game, the Texans haven't wasted time attempting to fix the problem -- overhauling the coaching and personnel for a unit that allowed Stroud to be sacked 52 times (second most in the NFL) and pressured on 38.6% of his dropbacks (second most), according to Next Gen Stats.
Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil and Kenyon Green were traded, while right guard Shaq Mason was released.
