Stroud's 51.8 playoff passer rating marks worst postseason DYAR since 1977.

Stroud had the worst postseason DYAR since 1977, completing 41 of 79 postseason passes in two games for 462 yards, two touchdowns, five interceptions (including four picks in Houston's 28-16 Divisional Round loss to New England), and a passer rating of 51.8. His developmental issues over the last two seasons after his remarkable rookie campaign in 2023 have been distressing, though not unusual; the source notes comparisons to Vince Young, Robert Griffin III, and Mac Jones who similarly declined after strong starts. For the Texans to contend, their offense must improve significantly, and Stroud's performance will be critical.
