Stroud had a miserable Christmas night against the Baltimore Ravens.
Houston Texans fans who spent their Christmas at NRG Stadium watching CJ. Stroud and the home team offense stumble during a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens were understandably frustrated by the holiday experience. Before apathy set in they let their emotions be known in the form of some boos. Which is not something Stroud heard much of during his breakout rookie year..
Stroud was asked about the negative feedback during his postgame availability and offered a thoughtful answer.. “This is not my first time and it probably won’t be my last. This is 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. I got plenty of football left in my career hopefully, God willing, and I know this is going to be a story I’ll tell one day that helps me in the long run.
That's solid perspective. Houston has dropped five of their last seven contests and are going in the wrong direction as the playoffs approach. Time is running out to turn things around but at least for Stroud's part, there doesn't seem to be an panic as he understands this is all part of a process.Kyle Koster is an assistant managing editor at Sports Illustrated covering the intersection of sports and media.
