Texans' Montgomery trade should ease playoff pressure on young QB Stroud.
C.J. StroudQBHOU
Stroud should benefit from the Texans' acquisition of David Montgomery, which adds balance to an offense that has relied too much on the 24-year-old quarterback to move the ball against elite opponents. Montgomery's rugged running style and knack for hitting paydirt will fill the void created by Joe Mixon's health downturn, potentially preventing future postseason meltdowns from a quarterback who had five fumbles (two lost) and five interceptions in two playoff games this past January.
