Stroud throws a perfect 29 yard TD pass to Tank Dell in he end zone to make it 23-22. Then the Texans have to go for 2 without a kicker, and Stroud's pass is off target. On the 6-play, 79-yard TD drive, they overcame Dell's dropped pass and a holding call on C Michael Deiter.

Who needs a running game? On the Texans first play of the third quarter, Stroud gets good protection and throws to Noah Brown on a crossing route. He goes 75 yards down the left sideline for the touchdown.

C.J. Stroud is so good, man.
C.J. Stroud has been inconsistent today, as rookies usually are. He's missed some throws. But he's working without a running game. That makes his job even tougher. A 2-yard completion on first down is better than a run for a team averaging 1 yard a carry.
The Texans have 144 yards. Stroud is 15 of 23 for 157 yards and 1 TD. His rating is 99.4. He's been sacked twice. The Texans have 7 yards rushing on 7 carries. That may be the worst first half rushing ineptness I've witnessed.
So the Texans had a first down at midfield. They had to abandon the run cause time was running out in the half. Stroud completed 3 passes for 42 yards and then White blitzes with an easy shot at Stroud for a 9-yard loss. Then they lose 3 on a completion.
Texans defense played better on the last series, forcing a punt. Will Anderson and Khalil Davis shared a sack of Mayfield. Texans take over at their 10. More bad field position. Bucs lead 10-7.

Texans take 7-3 lead on C.J. Stroudβs touchdown throw. https://t.co/FqTizZG33l
Bucs entered the game with a league-best plus-8 in turnover differential. Now they're plus-9. Texans went in with fewest turnovers, 4, and now it's 5 after the Schultz fumble.
After Dalton Schultz lost a fumble to set up a Bucs' FG, CJ Stroud took the Texans 75 yards in 7 plays. He was 4 of 4 for 56 yards. His 14-yard TD pass to Nico Collins on a slant route gave the Texans a 7-3 lead.
The Bucs can't be giving up 15 and 21-yard pass plays and then having roughing the passer calls. Texans score a TD on a 14-yard slant route by Nico Collins with Jamel Dean and Antoine Winfield Jr. in coverage. Dean hurt on the play and has walked off with trainers.
I want CJ Stroud back
Stroud's lackluster performance last week was a byproduct of BAD play calling... they ran the ball on 16 of 23 first downs on Sunday (highest % in the league) 34.2% of his passes have come on third down (highest in the NFL) preview + prediction: https://t.co/otiuLCsi4c
