CJ Stroud was able to keep the offense chugging all game long, and even gave his team a chance to steal the win with less than a minute remaining before…fumbling the ball away on 3rd & Goal.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Stroud's Week 1 offensive output (31 pts) matches 2025 season rarity; upside intact despite late fumble.

Stroud kept the Texans offense competitive throughout Week 1 against Buffalo, scoring 31 points—a total Houston surpassed only four times in all of 2025. He gave his team a chance to steal the win with less than a minute remaining before fumbling on 3rd & Goal; the source notes the offense looked significantly improved over last year and if this production continues while defense improves, Houston may realize Super Bowl aspirations.
