The Texans couldn’t get a break in Sunday’s 30—6 loss to the Jets, and the NFL officiating crew wasn’t helping.
Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud exited in the fourth quarter with a possible head injury after getting hit by the Jets’ Quinnen Williams and Quinton Jefferson. Stroud slammed the back of his head on the turf and was briefly examined in the blue medical tent before heading to the locker room. Multiple sources have reported the No. 2 pick is currently in concussion protocol.
Following the unfortunate setback, some eagle-eyed fans pointed out that it was actually a late hit that got Stroud injured. A slow-motion replay revealed that both Williams and Jefferson tackled the rookie quarterback well after Stroud had released the ball. None of the officials on the field picked up on the penalty, and the Jets got away with a no-call in the end.
