Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud has concluded an impressive rookie season, despite the team's divisional playoff loss to the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens. Stroud's debut season featured several record-breaking achievements, including the most passing yards in a game by a rookie (470), the longest streak of passes without an interception to start a career (191), and becoming the youngest quarterback ever to win a playoff game. His season stats include completing 354 of 553 passes (64%), throwing for 4,557 passing yards, 26 touchdowns, and only 5 interceptions. Additionally, Stroud became the youngest player at 22 years and 96 days to lead the NFL in pass TD-INT ratio in a season and achieved the third-most passing yards for a rookie. His performance throughout the season, which included leading the NFL in passing yards per game and touchdown-to-interception ratio, has garnered praise and high expectations for his future in the league. The Texans' offensive scheme has been credited for putting Stroud in positions to succeed, allowing his abilities to shine as he led the team to a 10-7 record and a division title.

What a fantastic rookie year for C.J. Stroud. Just ran into the best team in the league this round. No one is beating Baltimore.
Texans have been a chunk-play offense all season. Ravens are really making them grind it out. Big test for Stroud
Want to know why it's been tough sledding for C.J. Stroud and the #texans offense so far? Here's why. "They play a matchup zone and other teams play it. But I don't think anyone plays it better than Baltimore right now." - @baldynfl on The NFL Report with @wyche89 and myself. https://t.co/HsmPExHL3y

#Texans QB C.J. Stroud had arguably the best rookie QB debut every last Saturday against the Browns. Now he will look to knock off the No. 1 seeded Ravens and continue superstar ascension. https://t.co/YVs52W2p6G
