The United States got to see C.J. Stroud in prime form in prime time and it took one play.
The rookie quarterback of the Houston Texans took their first offensive snap Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday and threw a deep pass.
The football found Nico Collins in stride. The wideout corraled it and took the ball into the end zone.
One play, 75 yards, and after the PAT, Houston led, 7-3.
It took @CJ7STROUD only one play. 75-yard TD to @lbg_nico7! #WeAreTexans
