Stroud entered the NFL with authority as a rookie in 2023, but his overall numbers and performances have regressed since.

Stroud's regression and pressure sensitivity create vulnerability vs. Buffalo's defense.

Stroud's overall numbers and performances have regressed since his rookie season in 2023; his worst professional game came in Houston's playoff loss to New England, where he posted a 28 quarterback rating and threw four interceptions. The source notes Stroud does not perform well when pressured and struggled with defensive disguise throughout last season, making him vulnerable to Buffalo's defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard's scheme if the Bills can pen him in the pocket and apply effective pressure without blitzing.
