In the post-game locker room after last Sunday's 26-15 win over the San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans handed CJ Stroud the game ball. The decision to give the game ball to Stroud was a relatively easy one. The third-quarterback completed over 75 percent of his passes, threw a pair of touchdowns, and had his first 300 yard game in over a calendar year.
As Stroud accepted the game ball though, he noted that he needed six more... one for each of the offensive linemen who played a key role in preventing Stroud from being sacked even one time on the afternoon, which all Texans fans know by this point is a rarity on par with seeing Bigfoot in person.
