Texans Lose to Jets, Stroud's Struggles Continue

The Houston Texans suffered another loss on Sunday, falling to the New York Jets 24-6. The game highlighted the ongoing struggles of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, who continues to search for consistency in his first NFL season.

Stroud's Struggles on Display

Stroud completed just 13 of 27 passes for 130 yards and threw one interception. He faced a tough Jets defense, but his accuracy and decision-making were inconsistent. Several of his throws sailed high or missed their intended targets, causing frustration for both himself and his teammates.

"We just have to keep working," said Stroud after the game. "It's a learning process. I know I can be better, and I will be better."

The Texans' offense struggled overall, failing to generate any significant momentum. They were limited to just 217 total yards, with a rushing attack that managed only 87 yards.

Takeaways and Looking Ahead

The loss drops the Texans to 1-3 on the season, making a playoff push increasingly unlikely. However, there are still plenty of games remaining, and the Texans have opportunities to improve.

The key for the Texans will be to help Stroud develop and gain more confidence. The offensive line needs to provide better protection, and the coaching staff needs to find ways to get him comfortable in the offense.

"We need to get him in a rhythm, and that starts with us," said Texans head coach Lovie Smith. "We need to give him the opportunity to make plays."

The Texans face the Buffalo Bills next week, a daunting opponent. If Stroud and the offense can find a spark, it will be a crucial step forward for the team.
