The official stats say he had 274 yards passing with two touchdowns and zero interceptions... The 106.7 rating is also something that would bode well for him at the end of the season... he needs to take better care of the football under pressure. Two key fumbles resulted in three Bills points and took points off the board at the end of the game.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Stroud's 274 yards, 2 TDs, 106.7 rating strong, but two fumbles under pressure cost Texans the game.

Week 1 performance: 274 passing yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs, 106.7 passer rating. The source notes that 17 weeks of this production would yield career highs in every category and a strong season-long rating. However, Stroud committed two critical fumbles under pressure that resulted in three Bills points and cost the Texans the game; the source grades this a B rather than an A due to these key errors, describing it as 'a very Dak Prescotty kind of performance—good numbers, some great moments, but not quite enough.' The source emphasizes Stroud must take better care of the football under pressure going forward.
