The Houston Texans and their 2023 season so far have been subpar. The 4-4 record is keeping the team on the edge as they go against the Cincinnati Bengals in their next game. The 2 team in the AFC South might just make it against the 5-3 Bengals if CJ Stroud and Co. buckle themselves up for the next game. If they manage to pull off a victory, they will be on par with the Bengals.

It’s a dream for many quarterbacks in the league to get have their name attached alongside the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Some time ago, Brock Purdy became one of those people after he took the 49ers to 15 straight wins in a regular season. But this is not about him, this is about CJ Stroud. Just like Purdy, CJ Stroud is in the league with Tom Brady after he tied with him with the best touchdown to interception ratio.

According to the post, CJ Stroud currently boasts a 14:1 touchdown to interception ratio. That is impressive, to say the least. This just shows how accurate the QB throws are and his ability to fit the passes in tight windows when the time comes. The 22-year-old has achieved quite a milestone at such an early age. Safe to say, he has garnered quite a fandom from the fans and the NFL analysts alike.
Even Pat McAfee gave his two cents on the CJ Stroud situation as well, and he was startled to say the least. The last Texans game against the Buccaneers has brought nothing but praises to their beloved QB1.

Additionally, he came out with a completion rate of 71.4% , averaging 11.2 yards per pass. He made it look easy against the Buccaneers and threw a barrage of passes. It seems like he knew exactly what he was doing in a high-pressure situation. The number of long passes that he slung throughout the game has been unreal. His game with the Buccaneers is a subtle reminder that he is capable of achieving what Tom Brady did in his career.
