All C.J. Stroud does is set NFL records.
The latest record Stroud can claim is the single-game passing mark for a rookie.
In the Houston Texans’ 39-37 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Sunday in Week 9 at NRG Stadium, Stroud threw for 470 yards, eclipsing the previous mark of 433 from Andrew Luck on Nov. 11, 2012.
Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik told reporters earlier in the week the coaching staff was comfortable with the type of throws Stroud could make.
“We feel that great about what he can do, how talented he is, how he throws the ball and where he puts it really all over the field,” Slowik said.
The Texans’ play-calling and Stroud’s production reflected as much.
