October 4, 2026: two touchdowns without an interception
C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 31 passes for 347 yards and two touchdowns in Houston’s 34–30 loss to Dallas. He finished without an interception and added 12 yards on two rushing attempts.
Profile updated October 2, 2026: C.J. Stroud is the Houston Texans quarterback drafted second overall in 2023 from Ohio State. His rookie season established an unusually high benchmark: 4,108 passing yards, 23 touchdown passes and five interceptions, followed by the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
How Stroud established himself
Stroud’s defining rookie performance came against Tampa Bay on November 5, 2023, when he threw for 470 yards and five touchdowns. That was a single-game rookie passing-yardage record at the time. His first NFL touchdown pass earlier that season went to Nico Collins.
How his seasons compare
His production changed after the debut year: 3,727 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2024, then 3,041 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions across 14 games in 2025. Comparing full-season totals alone hides the different appearance counts; the season-by-season records below provide that context.
What matters entering Week 4 of 2026?
Through three games, Stroud had 794 passing yards, three touchdown passes and no interceptions. He had also been sacked 10 times and lost two fumbles. The clean interception column therefore does not mean Houston’s passing offense has avoided costly plays.
With Collins returning to full practice before Dallas, Stroud emphasized distributing the ball and creating yards after the catch. Collins has no Friday game designation, but that does not establish a workload. Read the Houston availability update and the Cowboys–Texans matchup.

Regular-season records. Totals use each recorded season once, even when team splits and a combined row are both shown. Rates are recalculated from the counted totals. A dash means a value is missing or cannot be calculated reliably; these records do not establish complete career coverage. The current-season row is as of the update time above and can differ from the season statistics section, which adds up box scores through the latest recorded final.
