C.J. Stroud said something to me, walking through NRG Stadium toward his postgame press conference, that might contradict what you think of him, if you just look at the stats.
The Texans’ quarterback came into Week 6 with zero interceptions, going his first 186 NFL attempts without one, the longest such streak to start a career in NFL history. He’s a rookie. He’s playing for a Year 1 head coach and working with a first-time offensive coordinator. All of it might make you assume this is some sort of Checkdown Charlie operation.
And yet, when I asked him about playing for DeMeco Ryans, it was exactly the opposite.
