The Houston Texans pulled off a dramatic win against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, thanks to a last-second field goal from rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. The Texans won 30-27, with Stroud leading the team on a game-winning drive in the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Texans got off to a slow start, trailing 17-10 at halftime. But Stroud was able to rally the team in the second half, throwing for two touchdowns and leading the team on a game-winning drive in the final minutes. With just over two minutes left in the game, Stroud drove the Texans down the field and set up a game-winning field goal attempt from kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn. Fairbairn made the kick, giving the Texans the 30-27 victory.
Stroud finished the game with a career-high 300 passing yards and three touchdowns, and his performance earned him praise from his teammates and coaches. Texans head coach Romeo Crennel praised Stroud’s poise and leadership, saying “C.J. did a great job of leading us down the field in the final minutes and making plays when we needed them most.”
The win was a huge boost for the Texans, who have been struggling this season. With Stroud at the helm, they have a chance to turn things around and make a run at the playoffs. It was also an impressive debut for Stroud, who showed he has what it takes to be a successful NFL quarterback.
The Texans will look to build on this win as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars next week. With Stroud leading the way, they have a chance to make some noise in the AFC South.
