NFL News: CJ Stroud, Texans lose another weapon to face Patrick Mahomes' Chiefs in the playoffs
The quarterback scrambled for a yard on third down but had his ankle caught underneath on the tackle. Stroud is one of the only Texans to avoid the injury bug this season, starting all 17 games. If Houston wants to pull off the upset, it rests on the right arm of Stroud.
Houston’s 10-7 record was as much a function of playing in a toothless AFC South as anything else. The Texans offense took a step backward after 2023’s emergence. C.J. Stroud backslid, a robust receiving corps was waylaid by injuries and the team had exactly one regular season win over a fellow playoff team (in Week 5 over the Buffalo Bills).
Saturday’s game ended in a familiar way, with the Chiefs securing a 23-14 win and a spot in the AFC Championship Game. The Texans kept it close and had their chances but didn't capitalize. Kicker Kaʻimi Fairbairn struggled, missing three kicks — a field goal wide right, a missed an extra point and a late blocked field goal.
Mayfield is the quarterback of record for the Cleveland Brown’s lone playoff win since 1995. That on its own should bump him up a notch or two.
