Texans Tackle Another Game Without Stroud: Keenum Steps Up
Quarterback Quandary Due to the CJ Stroud Injury
The Houston Texans might have to play ball without their star quarterback, C.J. Stroud, for the second week running. Stroud’s still feeling the effects of a concussion, and it looks like he won’t be ready for Sunday’s big game against the Cleveland Browns. He’s still on the sidelines, unable to join the team for practice.
Keenum Takes the Helm
Stepping into the breach left by the CJ Stroud injury is Case Keenum, who’s already shown he can handle the heat. In last Sunday’s victory over the Tennessee Titans , Keenum threw the ball like a pro, completing 23 out of 36 passes. He notched up 229 yards, scored a touchdown, and yes, threw an interception, but who’s counting? The Texans turned the NFL tables in that game, all thanks to Keenum’s steady hand.
Surprising Sprint This Season
Let’s talk about the Texans’ surprising sprint this NFL season. From one of the worst records last year to tying for the top spot in the AFC South – it’s like a Cinderella story!
A lot of this fairy-tale turnaround is thanks to Stroud’s dazzling debut year. He’s been a whirlwind on the field and is even eyeing the prize for Offensive Rookie of the Year.
But let’s not forget, it’s a team game, and the Houston Texans are showing they’re not just a one-man band. The CJ Stroud injury hasn’t fazed Keenum nor their NFL team standings at all!
Stepping Up to the Plate
Despite being tackled by injuries, including missing their top receiver Tank Dell, the Texans aren’t throwing in the towel. Their defense is like a brick wall, and Keenum’s proving he’s more than just a backup – he’s a seasoned player who knows how to win. While they’re itching to get Stroud back for the playoff push, Keenum’s shown he’s got the chops to keep the team’s hopes alive, one game at a time.
