The Houston Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud are steadfast in their resolve to rebound from their season-opening 34-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. During a press conference on Wednesday, Stroud underscored the importance of refocusing on the upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars and moving forward from the loss.
Stroud was sacked four times and threw two interceptions during the Texans' offensive struggles against the Vikings. Houston was also beset by penalties, gathering 11 flags for 88 yards, and encountered difficulties on third downs, converting only 4 of 14 attempts. The team was able to generate a mere 296 yards of total offense.
Stroud maintains an optimistic outlook despite the unsatisfactory performance. "The NFL has taught me that it is not a situation in which you can simply wallow in your sorrows and feel sorry for yourself," stated Stroud. "They subdued us; they kicked our butts. I commend those individuals." We will now shift our attention to the Jaguars, who are a strong team.
Stroud is determined to learn from the defeat and is confident that the Texans will recover. "I will likely learn from the film the following Monday after the game, and then I will be able to move on," he stated. "It is all about progressing and achieving the next victory."
The Texans are determined to correct their errors and regain momentum as they prepare to host the Jaguars at NRG Stadium on Sunday.
