CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans gets slammed after the Jets' loss

The Houston Texans weren't at their best after the team lost 21-13 to the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football at MetLife Stadium.

In the loss, second-year quarterback CJ Stroud had arguably the worst game of his career, completing just 11 of 30 passes for 191 yards.

Bleacher Report expressed its opinion after the loss, claiming Stroud was unable to sustain the offense at the time.

“His passing numbers against the Jets were…not good. Just 11 completions in 30 attempts for 191 yards. 126 of those yards went to wide receiver Tank Dell, who is literally the last man standing at his position,” writes Bleacher Report . “Against the Jets, Stroud looked less like the star many expect him to be and more like a second-year player who doesn't know what to do. There were incorrect throws. Forced. Stroud held the ball far too long, far too often – the Texans allowed a whopping eight sacks, including a strip-sack turnover deep in Jets territory.

Stroud will be the first to tell you he needs to play better. He understands the responsibility of being the Texans' quarterback and knows that he can dictate a lot about how the game goes for the team.

If Stroud leads by example, his teammates will support and follow him. Although he has been given the difficult task of running the offense without Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, he hopes he can do better on his own to ensure greater success for the unit.
