isaan.live — A frustrated C.J. Stroud shouldered the obligation Sunday evening after the Houston Texans blew a 16-point halftime lead versus the Detroit Lions, saying, “This video game gets on me.”
The second-year quarterback put the criticize on himself and the violation for the second-half troubles that sunk the Texans in their 26-23 loss to Detroit. Houston’s protection forced Lions quarterback Jared Goff right into 5 interceptions, one of the most in a prime-time video game since previous New Orleans Saints quarterback Attracted Brees had the same total in 2012 versus the Atlanta Falcons.
The Texans (6-4) became the second group since 1933 to shed a video game where they captured 5 interceptions and led by at the very least 15. Formerly, groups were 373-1-1 when prominent by at the very least 15 and snagging 5 interceptions. The various other time a group shed because style remained in Week 11 of 1970, when the Chicago Births shed to the Baltimore Colts 21-20 despite Colts quarterback Johnny Unitas tossing 5 interceptions, inning accordance with Elias Sporting activities Bureau.
“Definitely should have won this video game,” Stroud said. “My job is to lead the violation to score factors, and I didn’t do that today…. We truly should have put them away after the first fifty percent. It is truly on the violation.”
Second-half troubles have been the theme for the Texans. This period they have been outscored by 59 factors after halftime, keeping that differential position 31st in the organization. Versus Detroit they racked up no factors, sustaining the Lions’ comeback.
In the first fifty percent, Stroud led the Texans to 23 factors while tossing for 164 lawns and a touchdown. But in the second fifty percent, he tossed for 68 lawns, finished 39% of his tosses and had 2 interceptions in the 3rd quarter, with one occurring in completion area when the Texans were up 23-13.
“It is unsatisfactory. Turning the football there, particularly at a loss area, or appearing,” trainer DeMeco Ryans said. “We discussed starting in the second fifty percent, and we discussed being better in the second fifty percent. But to find out and transform the sphere over on the first play of the second fifty percent and to obtain at a loss area where we have factors and to transform the sphere over, that is not winning football.”
Ryans said it is “frustrating” to shed a video game where the Texans took the sphere far from such a high-powered violation. He lamented the failure to score factors off the turnovers and included that “we didn’t play corresponding football.”
“I’m happy with the protection for heading out to obtain 5 turnovers. I think that is a special day for any protection,” Ryans said. “We stalled a great deal of owns. Again, didn’t score any factors in the second fifty percent. To beat a great football group such as that, we need to have the ability to sustain owns. We need to have the ability to score factors. And we were going in reverse way too a lot.”
