C.J. Stroud

C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-34 passes for 257 yards and one interception in the Texans’ 34-10, Week 11 win over the Cowboys, adding 26 yards on three carries.

Stroud started hot while the game remained close but took a back seat to Joe Mixon in the second half as the Texans played with a substantial lead. Two first half touchdowns by Mixon were added to in the fourth quarter, accounting for all three offensive scores on the evening. Stroud did have a touchdown wiped off the board due to penalty after Nico Collins took the first play from scrimmage to the house, only to be backed up by an ineligible man downfield. Either way, Stroud guided the Texans to a much needed win after dropping three of their previous four, enough to keep a two-game lead on the Colts in the AFC South. The Texans turn their attention to the 2-8 Titans in Week 12.
