Battle Red Blog on C.J. Stroud

Stroud's playoff performances were nightmarish; must improve significantly.

Stroud's performances in Houston's wildcard win against the Steelers and divisional-round loss to the Patriots were described by the source as 'the stuff of nightmares'; the source notes that Stroud passed for only 3,224 yards in 2025 despite improvements in the offense, and that if Stroud and offensive coordinator Nick Caley are trying to silence critics, they will have to do much better than 14th in passing offense in 2026.
