The rookie quarterback did it again.
Despite a lengthy injury report, including the loss of top wideout Nico Collins and running back Dameon Pierce, and a hostile road environment, the Houston Texans pulled out a statement 30-27 win over the AFC powerhouse Cincinnati Bengals.
It wasn’t a perfect contest as the offense turned the ball over three times and the defense began to finally hemorrhage late in the contest against quarterback Joe Burrow and the Bengals dynamic passing game. However, the positives far outweighed the negatives. The defense picked off Burrow twice in the game and running back Devin Singletary became the Texans first 100-yard rusher of the 2023 season.
It’s Week 10 and Stroud is flashing “If he’s doing this by Year 3 he could be a star” plays that came up in draft prospect profile.
