Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is a distributor.
The No. 2 overall pick put the ball in a playmaker’s hands Sunday and allowed him to do the work. Stroud hit a crosser to receiver Noah Brown, and the seven-year veteran did the rest as he turned upfield for a 75-yard touchdown in the third quarter against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at NRG Stadium.
The touchdown was the first for Brown since signing with the Texans as a free agent.
Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik told reporters earlier in the week that having explosive plays would be key against the Buccaneers.
“Being able to take advantage of the explosive opportunities is going to be a huge part of every game we’re in,” said Slowik.
