C.J. Stroud leads Texans to miraculous victory over Buccaneers

C.J. Stroud for the win as he leads Houston to a triumph

C.J. Stroud was the second overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Ohio State.

The quarterback is No. 1 in the hearts of fans of the Houston Texans.

The rookie delivered a touchdown pass to Tank Dell from 15 yards with 6 seconds left to give the Texans a 39-37 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in an incredible game on Sunday.

The Texans had taken a 33-30 lead with 8:45 left when Dare Ogunbowale kicked a 29-yard field goal.

This is worth mentioning because Ogunbowale is a running back who had to kick because the Texans’ kicker was injured.

Baker Mayfield then led Tampa Bay on a 10-play job that saw it take the lead on a TD pass to Cade Otton.

Stroud, who threw for a rookie record 470 yards and 5 TDs, led a 6-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with the pass to Dell.
