C.J. Stroud's Competitive Edge Fuels Texans' Playoff Run

C.J. Stroud's competitive nature has been a driving force for the Houston Texans as they prepare for the playoffs.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is fueled by competition. He will compete in anything, anywhere - on or off the field. After a promising rookie season, Stroud's statistical decline in his second season has been one of the biggest surprises of 2024. Despite the struggles, Stroud still helped the Texans get to the playoffs as AFC South champions for the second consecutive year, and he's determined to return to form for the playoffs. The Texans will host the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round Saturday (4:30 p.m. ET, CBS).
