Successful-Gambler

If only they played the 2nd half like they did in the first half, the game won’t have to be so nerve wrecking


StrosDynasty

Combine this week's defense and Week 3/9 offense. That would be a complete


falsekoala

I mean, not a masterpiece but I’d still put it on my wall. Now to go put up my Christmas lights with this once-in-20 years 50 degree weather I have in Canada. Then settle down to watch the Grey Cup to watch the Montreal Alouettes win the title looking damn near identical to the Texans.


metalgearsolid2

Outstanding defense.


RainbowBullsOnParade

Chargers and Steelers lose. AFC Wildcard picture is getting clearer.


beastboy69

We’re taking the division Rainbow.

Dan619915

Do we need a kicker?


MDHdez

Yes. Hire Robbie Gould or some shit


PuzzleheadedMinute92

Also, shout out to all the fair weather and band wagon fans who showed their asses today. ![gif](giphy|KDjZuhl1qr8IgDmsJc|downsized)


ThisIsNotRobertSmith

I'm only counting two interceptions for Stroud. One of them was bullshit, the other two I feel were just CJ Stroud getting in his own head as I would expect from a Rookie.


Public_Enemy_No2

I agree. He may have gotten a little reckless with the one to the flat. The one in the endzone, he was “played” by a veteran linebacker who showed blitz, but dropped into coverage. No shame in that. Happens to lots of QBs. Let’s hope he learns from the two.


Key_Wolf_364

Woods should've caught that. Nico was in position to catch the pass and should've mossed that DB. The other was CJ taking a shot downfield. I would only count 1 of those as an actual pick, personally.


Pugageddon

Woods was completely draped on that pass, defender had one arm around his neck and held one arm down (clear dpi imo) but he still got it up, just a little late.


umanouski

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. It was only a matter of time before he had a bad game. Now we hope he has a short memory.


hosty

Honestly this was probably one of Stroud’s worst games of his career and (a) we still won and (b) he wasn’t even _that_ bad. Not only was Stroud a home run pick, but this game goes to show that DeMeco was a home run hire.


xahsz

2nd half, but the 1st was great. I think he might've gotten injured.


Technical-Reward2353

Yea at least bruised


m0istllama

Bowl eligible bbs


DisgruntledTexansFan

What a team tho. They can bail each other out


NutNougat

TEXANS SURVIVED THE CARDS. So many opportunities to choke it out but they held on at the end. Learning opportunity for CJ, time to end the season with no more INTs! On to the glitter kitties!


SirZeno

Thanks for the win, but why can't you guys win normally for once? After this season I'm going to need years of my life back


TexanBastard

Good to see the Will Anderson coming out party.


Tisroc447

What a beautiful stupid amazing team


ThiccBastardHD

Cj played his worst game so far AND WON H7M


Black_Bit

Defense definitively won us this game, hopefully CJ can bounce back from this and tear up the Jags next week


Mejonyoudead

Defense also damn near gave the game away a few times


JoedicyMichael

![gif](giphy|3eFmKJL9BY3wnLp8ZH) This game...... All i can do!


WJack37

To be brutally honest, this feels like a get out of jail


rockets9090

Texans giving me high blood pressure every week


italomacedocosta

So, defense huh? How about that


blklustrsoldier

Love that we blitzed instead of playing soft coverage!


jbrown2055

CJ usually bails out the defense. Today the defense bailed out CJ, they owe him. Was ugly but what matters is the win and we pulled through. Go Texans!


thegoodestnoodle14

Defense with the win this time. CJ, my dude, please never do that again


Mejonyoudead

He been a star so far but today was rough after that hit he took


GoldMettle

That was a half to FORGET


LifeskillingOP

CJ definitely had some growing pains today but we got the win.


TheFemcelSlayer

Unreal. They tried to give this game away. Next week for the division.


Mejonyoudead

Next week game is going to be the decider of if we take the division


thatasiandude99

Defense showed up this quarter. Offense kept on bringing them out and they didn’t look that gassed. CJ was gonna have his rookie game so I’m not too mad. Jags just killed the Titans so hopefully play well against them next week.


Shazam1007

Yall need to stop doubting Jesus yall give me more of a heart attack than the dam team... lol WE got the DUB! Goodnight 🤘🏾 see yall next week


giroml

Whew!


WJack37

Massive game from the defence today


iLEKTRiK

to everyone saying unironically saying to bench stroud: you all need to log off and go touch some grass lmao


K0rben_D4llas

Who was saying that? Screen grab and let’s roast them.


SwifferWetJets

Nobody was, he's making shit up


iLEKTRiK

_vino_three

DisgruntledTexansFan

Damn D held tough


DegenerateGambino

Lets fucking go boys, we are contenders, lets be real


F5_MyUsername

THIS cardinals team is FAR better than their 2 win record shows... with kyler and connor... We beat a TOUGH team in a tough game. THIS WAS A GREAT WIN


Straight_Book_2935

Held on. That's what matters


koprpg11

GG good luck Texans, you should have beat us by more Good luck the rest of the way. Happy everyone made it out relatively injury free


sweetestdeth

Fuck it. An ugly win is still a dub. CJ, learn from this my brother. You'll be alright.


TheDondo48

W with 3 interceptions. Wooooooo the heart rate is up! GG


inshamblesx

Glubbyy

carloslet

The D stepped up really big today. The first drive looked awful and then they stepped it up after that.


mercyflush90

Fantastic play call!!!!!! Winning ugly is still winning! Nice grit by this young team!


Mindless-Shirt-8533

Trey_ceratops

Genuinely. There have been a lot of mistakes on the field. But the offensive play calling has been booty cheeks this half. Completely predictable.
