Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud had the worst game of his career on a national stage.

The Houston Texans played so poorly in a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that the sellout crowd inside NRG Stadium was already booing before they even saw Beyoncé’s halftime show.

Beyonce showed up and gave the fans something to cheer about.

Once the second half began, the Texans made no adjustments and found themselves being booed several more times before thousands of fans began making their early exit.

Stroud was fine with Wednesday’s crowd response, especially after he admitted that he had “probably one of my worst games of my whole career.”

“People are entitled to their opinions. They care about the game. Their emotions matter, so I understand,” said CJ Stroud.

“This is not my first time and probably won’t be my last. It’s not something to internalize and point the finger at yourself but it is something that you can use to motivate you, to not want those moments anymore.”

Stroud completed 17-of-31 passes for 185 yards and one interception.

The Houston Texans’ defense scored 2 points that came from a safety, while the offense produced zero points against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Texans only had 213 total yards on the day. Their rushing game was non-existent, as they had 38 total rushing yards, while the Ravens had 229.

CJ Stroud Has Regressed In Year Two

Second-year Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, and his teammates heard boos from the home crowd during the club’s disappointing 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

Stroud has been heavily criticized for his downplay in 2024.

After earning Offensive Rookie of the Year Award honors for the 2023 season, Stroud hasn’t improved as expected.

ESPN stats ranks him 25th in the NFL among qualified players with a 49.1 adjusted QBR and an 86.0 passer rating on the campaign.

So far in 2024, Stroud has tossed 19 touchdown passes and 12 interceptions over 16 games.
