C.J. Stroud leads Texans to playoff berth with two early TDs, mixed performance

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 16 of 28 passes for 244 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers, clinching a playoff berth. Stroud made an immediate impact with career-long 75-yard and 43-yard touchdown strikes on the first two drives. While he struggled to move the offense later and threw two picks, it marked his second multi-touchdown game in five matchups since returning from injury, despite his first multi-turnover game since Week 3.
