houston texans turnovers cj stroud.

C.J. Stroud’s four first-half interceptions handed New England a 28-16 victory over Houston, securing the Patriots a spot in the AFC championship game. Stroud also had three turnovers in last week’s wild-card win at Pittsburgh. On Sunday, Houston’s defense couldn’t compensate for the offensive mistakes. Stroud says it “wasn’t my day.” The Texans have reached the playoffs for three consecutive years but has fallen in the divisional round each time. Coach DeMeco Ryans says he never lost faith in Stroud and says the loss can’t be blamed on one person.
