Stroud efficient early but offense stalls on 3rd/4th downs; 55 attempts in loss

Despite the lack of support surrounding him and a shorthanded offense, Stroud managed to keep the Texans in the game with efficient play through three quarters, attempting a career-high 55 passing attempts. However, the offense unraveled when it counted most, converting just 5 of 17 third downs and coming up empty on all four fourth-down tries. The source notes that without a finishing touch in confined quarters or on money downs, the Texans could be in trouble, though Collins' return should considerably change the group's outlook.
