When blitzed this season, CJ Stroud ranked 27th of 36 QBs in EPA/dropback, per Tru Media. (Drake Maye ranked first.)

C.J. Stroud is the 2nd QB since 2000 to throw 4 INT in the first half of a playoff game. The other was Trevor Lawrence in the 2022 Wild Card against the Chargers, in which the Jaguars erased a 27-0 deficit to win 31-30.

One thing is for sure; the Texans need to put the CJ Stroud extension talks on hold.

"If you're Houston, you win that game with 31 other quarterbacks." 👀 —Dan Orlovsky on the Texans' loss to the Patriots

A lot of the critical plays that decided this game --- C.J. Stroud's pick six, Woody Mark's fumble --- happened because the Patriots' interior dominated the line of scrimmage. On both turnovers, Patriots DTs got into the backfield and busted the play. Watch below:

New Quick Reads goes over Divisional Round by my DYAR metric. Without opponent adjustment, C.J. Stroud had the fifth-worst QB game in the playoffs since 1978. With opponent adjustment, it was the 10th-lowest, period. ftnfantasy.com/nfl/divisional…

End of season offensive line rankings, per PFF, divisional participants - DEN - 1st CHI - 3rd LAR - 4th SF - 5th BUF - 6th NE - 11th SEA -15th HOU - 27th

Brutally bad. The Texans OL ranked 32nd in run block win rate (ESPN) and our Footballguys Fantasy Football offensive line rankings have them as the 22nd-best run blocking unit, but still. Just way too many instances of Marks stuffed at or behind the line.

Could the Texans have won this mid Super Bowl with another quarterback?

Texans fans watching this SB probably sick…

The team that should feel the worst about this season is Houston. Their defense was just as good as Seattle's. A competent offense would have had that team playing in the SB.
