Earning the title of the most disappointing team, the Houston Texans dropped to 0-3. The general narrative around the league? CJ Stroud ’s slump is becoming an issue. In the last three losses, the quarterback racked up only 599 yards, two touchdowns, three interceptions, and a passer rating of 76.9. But is it really Stroud failing to meet expectations, or is the offense around him not doing its job? Analyst Greg Cosell picked the latter.
If Week 3 did anything, it put the Texans’ patchwork offense in the spotlight. Not the kind they wanted. Stroud appeared overwhelmed as he finished the game with two interceptions and a mere 204 yards. The run game is literally crawling on the gridiron and managed to log just 139 yards (outside the QB’s scrambles). Turnovers are becoming a concern
