The Houston Texans offense couldn't do much of anything during the first quarter and a half of play on Saturday against the Los Angeles Chargers, but C.J. Stroud ignited them late in the second quarter with a wild drive that saw him pull off a feat that has only been accomplished by two other quarterbacks over the past 33 years.

The Texans' defense got consistent pressure on Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert, forcing him to throw four interceptions, one more than he had thrown all season. Cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who had been named an All-Pro on Friday, was responsible for two of those picks.

Stroud only lost four games in two seasons with the Buckeyes. Two of them came against Harbaugh's Michigan Wolverines, in 2021 and again in 2022. This was Stroud's first game against Harbaugh at the NFL level, and he got the better of Harbaugh.

Everyone raved about the leadership of second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud this week as the Houston Texans prepared for their wild-card playoff game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

As the Texans prepare for their Saturday clash, cameras captured Stroud's exchange with his mom, Kimberly, and older sister, Ciara. The three took a moment to pray together before the big game, all while holding each other's hands.

The Houston Texans’ season will continue, as they defeated the visiting Los Angeles Chargers 32-12 in Saturday’s Wild Card opener. The defense intercepted Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert four times.

Just as the football-watching world was ready to count C.J. Stroud out, the Texans’ sophomore quarterback reminded everyone what he’s capable of. For much of 2024, his age-23 season, Stroud flaunted wisdom and precision well beyond his years.
