C.J. Stroud set the NFL single-game passing record for a rookie and notched his first game-winning drive in Houston's victory over Tampa.
A smiling C.J. Stroud pointed to the home crowd after referees confirmed his go-ahead touchdown strike with six seconds left. Then he bounced around, flexing his triceps. And when he got to the sideline, he took off his helmet and let out a celebratory roar. For all the performances that have made Stroud the favorite for Offensive Rookie of the Year, what he did Sunday marked his first signature win for the Texans .
He busted out into the squabble, the dance he has made famous in the NFL. He showed the same composure under pressure on the Texans' final drive. After Baker Mayfield's touchdown pass to tight end Cade Otton, the Bucs led 37-33 with just 46 seconds remaining. Houston, with two timeouts left, had to go 75 yards for the touchdown. Stroud proceeded to complete 5 of 5 passes, including the 15-yard game-winner to Dell, to put his stamp on the game.
