C.J. Stroud is continuing his remarkable rookie campaign in the postseason.
The Houston Texans quarterback threw three touchdown passes in the first half of Saturday’s AFC Wild Card playoff game against the Cleveland Browns.
The third scoring throw came inside two minutes left in the first half on a second-and-20 play.
Stroud connected with Dalton Schultz for a 37-yard score.
