WATCH: Texans QB C.J. Stroud takes a pitch on an end-around against the Bucs

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud demonstrated another element to his game in Week 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

What can’t C.J. Stroud do?

The Houston Texans rookie quarterback took a pitch from running back Devin Singletary in the fourth quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday for Week 9 at NRG Stadium.

The pitch helped keep Houston’s drive alive, and they took the lead with a Dare Ogunbowale field goal, 33-30.

Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik told reporters earlier in the week that the key was playing a clean game, which would enable such timely play-calling.

“Because when we play clean football, we feel like we’re confident in what we’re doing,” Slowik said. “And when we’ve held ourselves back, usually that’s when we’ve really struggled.”
