It's not the draft, it's the people who make the decisions and the coaching staff. How many 1st or 2nd picks have the Texans wasted through the years? Take a min to go look and you'll see what I'm saying. We used to have a coach who only liked to run 98% of the time 😞
Demeco Ryans has been a blessing as well. Such a well coached team, the Texans in one offseason got OROTY, COTY, and a candidate for DROTY. Fantastic turnaround for the team.
im probably the only Texans fan in my city down in FL. Had my boys calling me after that one play on face time saying "that's how y'all feeling??" that deep throw was beautiful!!!!!
The only other real candidate is Nuca, but Stroud is the lifeblood of this team, and I’m looking forward to the Texans future, and hoping to see how well the playoffs work
CJ Stroud is going to be one hell of an NFL QB. Exciting future for the Texans. Colts have nothing to be ashamed of, to get this close to playoffs with a backup QB, very impressive. Both teams have great rookie coaches.
As a Texans fan I just wanna take a sec to congratulate the Colts as well for a heck of a season. Y’all played your butts off at the mid-end of the season with who was supposed to be your backup QB, and managed to push your way into the limelight despite not getting much recognition. Y’all deserve so much recognition, here’s to more battles like this in the future - AFC South is loaded
@@kevinbeaven7003I mean the Texans had a even easier schedule by that logic just both teams did amazing this year and deserved the playoffs if either won, Texans wanted it just a little more
Maybe, but the colts lost 3 of their last 5 games. What does that really tell you? They were fortunate in games that were close, like Baltimore, and got blown out by Bengals and falcons. Didn't deserve any real attention.
C.J. Stroud won this game for the Texans with his poise in the pocket throwing the ball, and Nico Collins has been having a stellar season. DeMeco Ryans is my coach of the year with the way he’s guided this team to the playoffs
@@DJ-jf8ts Dude, he's a rookie head coach, took a team that won 11 games from 2020 to 2022 to the freaking playoffs with a young team. He most Defintely won COTY
We have to admit, when AR went down, we were not expecting Gardner Minshew to lead the Colts this far. I certainly was not. For Minshew to put the team on his back Week after Week and bring them to a win and in situation is amazing itself, not to mention the Colts were just a yard away from getting close to a TD at the end. As a Ravens Fan, much respect to the Colts who fought all the way till the very end. Thank you to all for the likes!
Even though Minshew has more experience then CJ..Texans still victorious...Them Texans just needed some guidance Demeco Ryan's a real champ.always has been..

As a houstonian and Texans fan, the energy and excitement CJ Stroud and DeMeco Ryans has brought to our city and team is just amazing and the fact that a first time head coach and rookie quarterback has made the play offs is simply amazing!
Yes No one have expected this before the Season starts and at First they are struggling but then they fix it together and blow myMind!Before the Season I said:Maybe 5 Wins this Season would be a progress!!LOL
The Texans are gonna be contenders within a couple years, if they're winning the division already with a rookie QB and a general lack of talent in most other areas. It's gonna be a good game against the Browns; I think Cleveland is pushing their luck with Flacco.
To Win the SB in your Rookie Season is much better than this!!LOL!Is Stroud really capable of winning the SB???I think it is too early but in 2 Years anything is possible for the Texans!
@@Amon-RaSt.DetroitI doubt he’ll make pass the first round. But he had a monster season if you look at his numbers! He needs more weapons or a better offensive line
The fact that this is DeMeco Ryans' first year as head coach for the Houston Texans as well as C.J. Stroud's first playoff appearance while still a rookie in the NFL is beyond amazing. What a year to be a Texans fan. H-Town hold it down! 🤘🏽
Houstan texans o line played super well today and just the fact that it will actually get much better next year makes me very excited about this team. Well done Texans
Man, I'm so happy for Coach Ryans & CJ. Not a Texans fan but those two are definitely COTY & ROTY, respectively. The future looks bright for all my football brothers & sisters who are fans of the Texans. Y'all cherish it & ride the wave and highs...I hope there are more of those in store in the future for y'all. This was a Great Saturday of football y'all 😊

This team is special. Both teams are good and should be proud of a good season. Colts and Texans have a young core with bright futures with potential to become a super bowl contender for years to come. Great win by the Texans and CJ Stroud has been unbelievably good as a rookie.
Yep. Special teams are made up of special players and sometimes coaches. Stroud and Nico Collins are those guys. We all know Stroud is the man but Nico is also that dude. A really special head coach in Demeco that perfectly connects with a young team in a unique way because he himself is so young AND accomplished and is thus able to get more from players than other coaches could. It's been fun watching the journey. I have a feeling we are watching the start of something great.
Texan fan(from London) here. Proud of this young team who have had nothing but disrespect all season. This division is starting to get back to a great competitive division. It’s a shame all 3 teams couldn’t make the playoffs really.

Hope Minshew gets a starting job next year someplace. That guy just continues to shine. He was on the run from a collapsing pocket all year and still managed a great season. Give him a big line and time as a pocket passer and he’ll lead any team to the playoffs. Love his background story.

I haven’t been watching NFL for as many years as most people in the comments, probably about 8 years properly in depth but Stroud is the best rookie QB I’ve ever seen. Exceptional and how he looks like he’s been playing at the highest level for years is crazy.
as a texans fan i’m glad everyone finally got to see our team felt good to play a prime time game. even if we lose in the playoffs this team will always be special we gonna be scary for years to come.
Congratulations on a playoff season for C.J. Stroud and the Texans!! I hope they go far. Also hats off to the Colts for the way they handled all the injuries. They’ll be good as long as Richardson stays healthy.
As a Panthers fan, this really makes my skin itch, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The Texans have a legit team and the fact that they were able to turn things around speaks volumes to a young roster and young coach who wanted to turn this thing around. I still believe in Bryce Young (assuming that we will get weapons around him, but considering we should've kept CMC and DJ Moore and gave up Brian Burns instead since we didn't extend him SMH), but there are better days ahead for the Texans. Congratulations and enjoy the playoffs. You fans have earned it!
Thank you for those words my guy! That being said I'm still salty that we lost to yall, so at the moment im glad yall got young no hard feelings 😂😂😂.. i remeber being bummed out that yall got young i fell for all the media and internet talk.. but I hope young has a better sophomore season cause yall deserve success after trading everything for young. I don't think yall could have kept all them players but maybe have kept Moore for young to have a go to guy. 🎉
I’m no expert but if you watch CJ Stroud anticipation throws when he was in college at Ohio State you could see he was the real deal.. Bryce is not bad but he’s not the pocket passer Stroud is..
TO SEE BOTH TEAMS EMBRACE EACH OTHER AT CONCLUSION OF GAME REALLY HAD ME EMOTIONAL. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR THE TEXANS. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEIR WIN!!! AWESOME SET OF YOUNG MEN!
@@JmanJblack 100%. But it begins with having a leader behind center. They wouldn’t be here without several elements, but CJ is the biggest and most instrumental in their rise.
Remember in week 1 when HOU held their own at Baltimore and hung around deep into the 2nd half in a game many thought would be a blowout? That was a sign of things to come for these Texans
Imagine literally dropping your season! Congrats to the Texans! This solidifies Ryans and Stroud for Coach and Rookie of the Year. Geez, Nico Collins is just unstoppable! My Colts did extremely well with Minshew! I'm still proud!
The Houston Texans finished the season at 10-7🔵🔴⚪️🐂🤟 They clinched their first playoff berth and AFC South Division Title for the first time since 2019 also the #4 Seed in the AFC
Nico Collins had a great performance and his stats can prove it. He had 9 receptions, 195 receiving yards, 21.6 yards per reception and single TD. Well Done 👍🏼
I'm just gonna say this now the turnaround this season by the texans plus how extremely amazing Stroud has been playing is just fantastic and insane I'm really proud of coach Ryan's too for helping this team they really have a chance to be a contender fr if they keep building but the Texans been balling fr great w hope they make it far 🎉🎉🎉🎉💪💪💪💪🥶🥶🤯🤯💯
Stroud n Texan's set the tone from the beginning n then wavered mid game but then found their groove again at the end. Started strong n finished strong
Good job and congrats to the Texans staff Coach Demeco and my rookie of the year CJ Stroud. All year this team showed toughness,grit,and resilience to go from a 3 win team a year ago to a 10 win team is incredible. What a difference a draft can make with a No. 1 and No. 2 pick. Now the playoffs Go H-town... 🏈
Mark your own words on that... 🎯💯 CJ's gonna give Tom Brady a run for that GOAT spot by the time it's said and done. He's gonna blossom into something insane! #GoBucks #GoTexans
I sure hope so. After being a long suffering Texans fan and (Oilers fan before that) this is the most optimistic I have been for a long time. We have the pieces to start something great but then I remember how NY Jets fans thought Eric Mangini was going to lead them to a decade of future glory after his great first season as coach and then I temper my expectations but remain very hopeful for the future.
I love how Nico Tore through the Coltz and how the secondary really stepped up happy to see Kareem tackling Boyz how they should be tackled..Sean Taylor style..
What an emotional night. Shame Anthony Richardson got injured, that might have been the difference between playoffs and this. Seriously happy for the Strouds football program. ALSO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE A QUARTERBACK FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY playing well in the NFL
Such a disappointing end to what was a heck of a ride season as a Colts fan. Stroud is a bad man though. Congrats Houston, you guys have a good one. Can't wait to see Richardson vs Stroud for years to come 🔥
True, but it was a horrendous throw by Minshew. Goodson was wide open, all Minshew had to do was set his feet and throw it to him. Instead he threw off his back foot in a clean pocket and the ball was well behind Goodson
Insane how this Team developed. Just imagine how they would stand without injuries of Dell, Collins and Stround during the season. Nevermind now they are in the playoffs and everything is possible regardless of their regular seasons standings. This year I would not bet on any game it feels like it is a big gamble and nothing is granted :)
It's crazy how many good coaches are over there. Tomlinson should get an honorable mention with his qb situation also. That division is brutal. Steelers ,Browns, Ravens and Bengals. Best division in football
I honestly cannot believe how good this rookie is. All the big throws were amazing but even to have the guts to give a guy his third reception of the season in a playoff game is crazy as well
From 3-13-1 to 10-7 in one year, just shows you how much the draft can change a team.

CJ Stroud is the same of your Lord.
Congratulations on a playoff season for C.J. Stroud and the Texans!! I hope they go far. Also hats off to the Colts for the way they handled all the injuries. They’ll be good as long as Richardson stays healthy.
Prolly not. Not with how good the afc is.
@@abaofifszWell that is true
Lets not forget to thank the fers for two bad calls that allowed the Browns to beat the Colts.
@@tokk3n-hj4xgI see a mad Colts fan
@@allthingssports4957To be fair the NFL did tell Irsay after that both those calls were not correct. That was a win taken away.
Proud of the Houston Texans!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
H-Town🤘🏾🤘🏾👏🏾👏🏾🏈🏈❤️💐
Great job Texans .. CJ is a phenomenal player. I’m impressed
As a Texans fan.... this season has been one heck of a ride
As a Panthers fan, this really makes my skin itch, but I have to give credit where credit is due. The Texans have a legit team and the fact that they were able to turn things around speaks volumes to a young roster and young coach who wanted to turn this thing around. I still believe in Bryce Young (assuming that we will get weapons around him, but considering we should've kept CMC and DJ Moore and gave up Brian Burns instead since we didn't extend him SMH), but there are better days ahead for the Texans. Congratulations and enjoy the playoffs. You fans have earned it!
Yeah whoever gave up cmc needs to be fired I would have payed the man
Thank you for those words my guy! That being said I'm still salty that we lost to yall, so at the moment im glad yall got young no hard feelings 😂😂😂.. i remeber being bummed out that yall got young i fell for all the media and internet talk.. but I hope young has a better sophomore season cause yall deserve success after trading everything for young. I don't think yall could have kept all them players but maybe have kept Moore for young to have a go to guy. 🎉
Don't let it get yo you. The Panthers Ewood have destroyed CJ, no good line.
I’m no expert but if you watch CJ Stroud anticipation throws when he was in college at Ohio State you could see he was the real deal.. Bryce is not bad but he’s not the pocket passer Stroud is..
Tbf I don't think CJ would have done much better with the Panthers than Bryce did
TO SEE BOTH TEAMS EMBRACE EACH OTHER AT CONCLUSION OF GAME REALLY HAD ME EMOTIONAL. IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING FOR THE TEXANS. I AM SO HAPPY FOR THEIR WIN!!! AWESOME SET OF YOUNG MEN!
THIS TEAM HAS MADE IT TO THE POSTSEASON FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2019. OH MY GOD, I LOVE IT HERE SO MUCH.
DeMeco Ryans really went from leading the Texans as a defensive captain to leading them to the playoffs as a first-year head coach🔥🔥
I know this is not news to anyone, but it’s still amazing to me how big a difference having a QB-and leader that you can believe in-makes.
it's not only CJ Stroud
@@JmanJblack 100%. But it begins with having a leader behind center. They wouldn’t be here without several elements, but CJ is the biggest and most instrumental in their rise.
@@OutgrownThings it's not only the texans, the afc south is going to be interesting over the next few years!
Great game.. Congratulations to the Texans.
Remember in week 1 when HOU held their own at Baltimore and hung around deep into the 2nd half in a game many thought would be a blowout? That was a sign of things to come for these Texans
That was a 16 point game
Yea it was closer than the score fuck@s4mzdagod
@@chrisuncleahmad666 the 49ers didn't lose by a bigger margin bro
Imagine literally dropping your season! Congrats to the Texans! This solidifies Ryans and Stroud for Coach and Rookie of the Year. Geez, Nico Collins is just unstoppable!
My Colts did extremely well with Minshew! I'm still proud!
Texans fought for this one. Congrads! Praying for my Bills!
As a Texans fan, I cannot permit your team to have a victory. Unless the Shitans beat the Glitter Kitties then it's all good either way.
@@jessyfretz5800 understood and respected
even if they win, we are already in.@@jessyfretz5800
So proud of CJ Stroud. He represents TRUE sportsmanship
The Houston Texans finished the season at 10-7🔵🔴⚪️🐂🤟
They clinched their first playoff berth and AFC South Division Title for the first time since 2019 also the #4 Seed in the AFC
Nico Collins had a great performance and his stats can prove it. He had 9 receptions, 195 receiving yards, 21.6 yards per reception and single TD. Well Done 👍🏼
CJ Stroud, without a doubt in my mind, would be the MVP if he hasn’t missed time.
He should win it anyway the texans would be a 4 maybe 5 win team without him imo
@@jacobsoape833love him but pump ya break L freaky snatched that easy
he was my mvp until he missed time...
ROTY yes, MVP you're dreaming
CJ Stroud 7!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🏈🏈
I'm just gonna say this now the turnaround this season by the texans plus how extremely amazing Stroud has been playing is just fantastic and insane I'm really proud of coach Ryan's too for helping this team they really have a chance to be a contender fr if they keep building but the Texans been balling fr great w hope they make it far 🎉🎉🎉🎉💪💪💪💪🥶🥶🤯🤯💯
Stroud n Texan's set the tone from the beginning n then wavered mid game but then found their groove again at the end. Started strong n finished strong
I'm so happy for Stroud man. Nico looked unstoppable this game as well
Great game. So proud of Stroud and Texans!!!
Good job and congrats to the Texans staff Coach Demeco and my rookie of the year CJ Stroud. All year this team showed toughness,grit,and resilience to go from a 3 win team a year ago to a 10 win team is incredible. What a difference a draft can make with a No. 1 and No. 2 pick. Now the playoffs Go H-town... 🏈
from being from the bottom to being in the playoffs, I think the Texans are going to be a powerhouse in 4 years from now
Mark your own words on that... 🎯💯 CJ's gonna give Tom Brady a run for that GOAT spot by the time it's said and done. He's gonna blossom into something insane! #GoBucks #GoTexans
@@toeclampingfreak3218hate to break it to yall but the nfl is stacked, let’s enjoy him making the playoffs with this squad
@@toeclampingfreak3218Relax... Brady won a super bowl his first year starting lmao
I sure hope so. After being a long suffering Texans fan and (Oilers fan before that) this is the most optimistic I have been for a long time. We have the pieces to start something great but then I remember how NY Jets fans thought Eric Mangini was going to lead them to a decade of future glory after his great first season as coach and then I temper my expectations but remain very hopeful for the future.
I love how Nico Tore through the Coltz and how the secondary really stepped up happy to see Kareem tackling Boyz how they should be tackled..Sean Taylor style..
With the season on the line, it’s insane how calm, poise, & collected CJ Stroud is especially as a rookie😮
The future looks great for NFL🤯
What an emotional night. Shame Anthony Richardson got injured, that might have been the difference between playoffs and this. Seriously happy for the Strouds football program. ALSO HAPPY TO FINALLY SEE A QUARTERBACK FROM THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY playing well in the NFL
Those who are Texans fans and playoff contenders 👇
Me 🖐
I'm a Dallas Cowboys fan and I'm very happy for the Texans, I'll root for u guys as well.
Me 🤟
Such a disappointing end to what was a heck of a ride season as a Colts fan. Stroud is a bad man though. Congrats Houston, you guys have a good one. Can't wait to see Richardson vs Stroud for years to come 🔥
Good season for the Texans
Congratulations to all Texans fans happy for you and your team 😎👍🏽
Thanks
Congratulations Texans fans good luck in the playoffs.
Thank you

49ers fan here but really happy for DeMeco Ryans and CJ Stroud. Love the young QB’s clutch play and hoping he takes the Texans far in the playoffs.
His energy will help all nfl fans WOW!!! Im a DOlphins fan 4 life BUT he earning mad repect!
They lookin real good those Texans with CJ at the helm…..especially impressive given the injury issues they’ve dealt with !
Great win Houston.....start of something special going forward
Brutal drop there at the end, that guy is gonna lose sleep thinking about that. That said, congrats Texans fans! What a rookie season from Stroud.
True, but it was a horrendous throw by Minshew. Goodson was wide open, all Minshew had to do was set his feet and throw it to him. Instead he threw off his back foot in a clean pocket and the ball was well behind Goodson
The Texans clinch a playoff spot for the first time (this decade) since 2019.
Congratulations to the Houston Texans for capturing the Division! This is great & I hope that they do well in the playoffs!
Cj stroud went 7for 7 82 yards on tha final td by texans thats a good way to finish
Insane how this Team developed. Just imagine how they would stand without injuries of Dell, Collins and Stround during the season. Nevermind now they are in the playoffs and everything is possible regardless of their regular seasons standings. This year I would not bet on any game it feels like it is a big gamble and nothing is granted :)
Lovie Smith knowing that the win against the Colts last season would perfectly set up the Texans future
That man might be a seer lol
yep if the Texans get the first pick they probably end up taking Bryce Young.
Congrats to the Texans on making the playoffs. Guys got a great QB and coach and future is looking good for Huston.
Were it not for Kevin Stefanski, DeMeco Ryans would easily win Coach of the Year.
He has done a phenomenal job with the Texans in his first year.
It’s still possible Demeco could win that award. A long shot, but still possible giving everything.
It's crazy how many good coaches are over there. Tomlinson should get an honorable mention with his qb situation also. That division is brutal. Steelers ,Browns, Ravens and Bengals. Best division in football
Great job Demeco Ryan’s for helping this Texans team finally make a playoff run I loved some of his playcalls
Texans are going to be a dangerous playoff team.
As a lifelong Texans fan who use to watch Peyton Manning and the Colts destroy my team year after year, this game was awesome!
Just hate to see the season end on a flubbed check down like that . Devastating
Minshew did an incredible job filling in the back QB position. Tremendous job 👏
Texans are a Dangerous team 😮🇺🇸🏆
Strouds quickness and strength on his pass release is phenomenal.
Texans definitely deserve more Prime Time games next season, them against Detroit Sunday Night next year would go hard !
They might have them open the year against the Super Bowl winner (you never know, it might be us...I wouldn't bet on it)
I honestly cannot believe how good this rookie is. All the big throws were amazing but even to have the guts to give a guy his third reception of the season in a playoff game is crazy as well
