What up football fans your boy is on cloud 9 after a solid win in Jacksonville. I should say I’m on cloud 7 because C.J. Stroud hit his stride at the end of the Indi game and came out firing today. C.J. ended up 20/30 with 280 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Texans QB came into today’s game with 626 total passing yards. Honorable mention to the special teams. They were special today.
On their second drive C.J. threw a strike to Tank Dell. That play set up Dameon Pierce for his first touchdown this year. I know as a Texans fan not to get overly confident as we have blown leads before. I saw my suspicions come true with Jacksonville and their running backs. The Jaguars have their own tank. His name is Tank Bigsby. Not to mention Travis Ettienne Jr who had a solid game. Calvin Ridley also looked good today. He looks even faster this year somehow.

By the end of the first quarter Dameon Pierce started to look normal. The Texans defense was showing signs of improvement. Remember, there’s been a lot of injuries on both sides of the ball for the Texans. Soon after the second quarter started, the Texans almost had a scoop and score with a blocked field goal attempt from rookie Will Anderson. C.J. gets the ball back and finds Robert Woods who takes it close to the goal line. It was nice to see C.J. spread the ball around as he found tight end Brevin Jordan with a goaline touchdown. Now, I’m starting to feel it. We go into the half with a 17-0 lead.
But I wasn’t too worried because the Texans C.J. Stroud strike right back with a 68 touchdown. Another one to Tank Dell and now we’re looking at a commanding 34-17 lead. Our Defense held off the Jags and we punched in a field goal for a 37-17 first win of the year.
