The Houston Texans have been put back together. While expectations for playoff qualification may vary from fan to fan, at least everyone can agree the Texans are fun to watch again. No longer are they are moribund franchise waiting for enough draft capital to collect or terrible contracts to expire. The Texans are at least interesting when their slot comes up on NFL RedZone.
Riding a two-game winning streak, the Texans seemed to be favorites against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. However, Kyler Murray made Houston sweat. The Texans’ 21-16 win wasn’t easy, and it earned commentary from social media along the way.
Here are some of the best remarks from Twitter.
I just love him 🥹

We used to see 3 or 4 throws like that PER GAME for comparison. https://t.co/Udl7SjhYTU

When I saw Davis Mills come in the game I got bad chills I think starting next game we need to make Case Keenum the back up quarterback. We are fighting for the division and for the playoffs-we need a halfway competent quarterback— Michael Beckman (@michaelbeck) November 19, 2023
Stroud isn't the MVP and the Texans aren't a good team pic.twitter.com/Qpngdlsct8

Sacked on 1st and 10
Taken out on 2nd and 19 after a sack.
Comes back and converts on 3rd and 17 like it was easy.

Turnover regression coming hard for C.J. Stroud today
— Analytics of Dynasty (@McNamaraDynasty) November 19, 2023
I don't know that from where C.J. Stroud was throwing the ball that Tank Dell was ever open. #Texans back on defense again after C.J. Stroud's third interception.

C.J. Stroud handing out INT’s today
— #JBOSA 11/25/23 〽️ (@HJ_TheThird) November 19, 2023
INT #3 by C.J. Stroud.
A lot of difficult, dangerous throws in general. He hits most of them. Gotten burned a few times today.
— Ari Alexander (@AriA1exander) November 19, 2023
That's six turnovers for C.J. Stroud in the last eight quarters after he had just three turnovers in his first eight games
— Adam Spolane (@AdamSpolane) November 19, 2023
Graphic on @CBSSports says this is the first three-interception of C.J. Stroud’s career, college or pro.

Well, I think we can put all those C. J. Stroud for MVP talks to rest now.
— Tom Franklin (@InsideTFsHead) November 19, 2023
Can we please stop all this “C.J. Stroud for MVP” talk now? Another week where he’s keeping the other team in the game by throwing redzone interceptions
— Machine Gun Brian Kelly (@MachineGunBK) November 19, 2023
Hey, remember last week when I said this?
I love C.J. Stroud. He’s been incredible this year. He also has three picks today.
Are we done with the Stroud/Young comparisons now? https://t.co/275qfeSJto

C.J Stroud has to have Cardinals +5.5
— Mr. TNF (@realMrTNF) November 19, 2023
C.J. Stroud has been carrying the team.
It’s nice to see them pick him up today.
All 3 phases!

It only took the Cardinals & Panthers to make C.J. Stroud look human. His only weakness teams with horrible losing records
