What has happened to C.J. Stroud?
Before the season, Stroud — 2023 Offensive Rookie of the Year — seemed poised to become an MVP candidate. Now, the Houston Texans quarterback is stuck in a slump.
The Texans (7-5) have lost three of their last four games. Stroud has three touchdown passes and five interceptions during this span.
On Sunday, the Tennessee Titans upset the Texans, 32-27, on the road. Stroud threw two interceptions in the loss and committed an embarrassing error late in the fourth quarter.
With 1:13 left in the game and the Texans trailing 30-27, Stroud stepped out of Houston’s end zone, giving the Titans a safety.
