Texans passed for just 140 yards against Panthers
Start your holiday shopping early with these Insider DealsHouston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud works in the pocket against the Carolina Panthers during the first half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023, in Charlotte, N.C. – Instead of prolific touchdown passes and long gains, the Texans’ passing game has sputtered in recent games.
As the Texans adjust to how defenses adapt to their playbook, they’re aware of the increased difficulty for the NFL’s 18th-ranked passing game. The Texans had their lowest scoring total since the opening game against the Baltimore Ravens, a 25-9 road defeat and are averaging 21.1 points per contest.“As the year goes on, I feel like it gets a little harder,” Stroud said. “But if it was easy, everybody would do it. And that’s just something I keep in mind.
Stroud leads all NFL rookies with 1,800 passing yards and has nine touchdowns and just one interception. “Man, I definitely think we have the talent to be explosive, and I think we’ve shown that we’re, if not a top five offense, a top 10 offense; we’ve showed it, and we can do it,” Stroud said. “We’ve just got to go out there and call it and run it and execute. I feel like that’s why we haven’t been consistent. Too many taking the ball short and not having enough explosives.”
The Texans, overall, are an effective passing game. They have 27 completions of 20 yards or higher, earning a ranking of 10th overall in that category. Stroud averages 5.8 yards per completion.There is no disconnect between Stroud and the coaches. They want the same things.
