There's no telling how Week 9's game against the Denver Broncos would've gone if third-year quarterback wasn't knocked out of the contest with a concussion early in the 2nd quarter, but one would assume that the Houston Texans' chances of getting a win and scraping back to .500 all but evaporated when Stroud's head hit the NRG Stadium turf in violent fashion.
From that point forward, the Texans offense couldn't muster any semblance of a reliable offensive attack, and unfortunately, in what has become typical Houston Texans fashion, a 4th quarter lead slipped away shortly after it was confirmed that QB1 had entered concussion protocol.
