Like Brett Favre, Texans rookie QB C.J. Stroud's first NFL completion is to himself

It's a fun bit of trivia: Who was on the receiving end of Brett Favre's first NFL completion? The answer is Brett Favre.

If Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud turns out to be a star, you'll hear that trivia about him a few times, too.

Stroud dropped back on the first play of his NFL career, and his pass was tipped in the air. In a heads-up move, he ran forward and grabbed it. He didn't get any yards on the play, but it was a completion. His first NFL completion and his first NFL catch, all on the same play.
