The Houston Texans took down the Cincinnati Bengals, with the concluding score being 27-30. However, Stroud gave another incredible performance against the Bengals, as he did with his 38-yard goal in the concluding time.
In his two games, the rookie quarterback has recorded 826 passing yards and has prominently joined the elite ranks while making NFL rookie history. Stroud’s name joins Justin Herbert, Andrew Luck, and Cam Newton.
According to the Houston Texans, Stroud now becomes the fourth rookie quarterback to record passes for at least 2,500 in his first nine starts. Joe Burrow, the star quarterback of the Bengals, has posted 2,485 passing yards in his first nine starting games. His rookie season ended with 2,688 passing yards.
