C.J. Stroud continued his impressive rookie season in Week 10 with an astounding performance against the Bengals.
Coming off of a record performance against the Buccaneers, during which he threw for 470 yards and five touchdowns, Stroud was once again electric facing off against Cincinnati on Sunday.
Stroud's most impressive play of the day came at the start of the third quarter. With the Texans approaching midfield, Stroud faked a handoff and immediately turned to face pressure from Bengals edge rusher Trey Hendrickson.
With nowhere to go, Stroud turned, scrambling wildly in a full loop before finding space and throwing off his back foot to wide receiver Noah Brown for a 20-yard gain.
