Rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud made a remarkable debut in the NFL playoffs, leading the Houston Texans to a surprising victory with a record-tying performance.
“First and foremost, I just want to give all glory, praise my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,” Stroud said.
“I mean, it’s been amazing, being in this city for as short as I’ve been, but the love I’ve got — I’ve really just been doing it for Houston, man … I’m blessed to be in the position that I am, blessed enough to be playing at a high level right now,” he added.

“Thank you, God bless.”
