Stroud big game preserves J.J. Watt enshrinement; Texans beat Steelers 30-6

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud was stellar, ensuring J.J. Watt’s Ring of Honor enshrinement was not spoiled against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

C.J. Stroud notched his second game with 300-plus passing yards as the Houston Texans preserved the enshrinement of former defensive end J.J. Watt with a 30-6 victory Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium.

The Texans inducted the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year at halftime into the team’s ring of honor. Stroud’s 306 passing yards and two touchdowns were bulwarks that ensured no Houston fan would go home disappointed.

Stroud went 16-of-30 with a 111.2 passer rating and took no sacks. The No. 2 overall pick also extended his streak to 151 attempts without an interception to start a career, padding an existing NFL record.
