I was blown away by Stroud’s play.
I wasn’t he’s been doing this all year 😂
@drlove994 prime time, nationally televised game. Probably the first time alot of people are getting a first hand look at him
Why? Hes been doing it every game this year. U thought hed just stop?
@@MakingItHappenMWC most quarterbacks aint good in the post season. Peyton was horrible came post season
So was the browns
CJ is amazing, along with Will Anderson n Derek Stingley Jr. Texans went from a 3 win team to a Superbowl Contender!
I agree!
@@tianamcgruder8677 The better team won the game and that's the Texans in Houston.
Next week will be a very big test. We're either playing KC or Baltimore on the road. The road is long, but they are playing with a lot of confidence.
@@jessyfretz5800 With the talent that Houston has, this team can take any challenge at any given day.
Thats like the Bengals were bad for years get a new QB and in the super bowl the next year, the Texan were terrible for a long time get a new QB and in the playoffs while the Browns spend billions of dollars and seem to be in a constant rebuilding stage year after year
Congrats to the Strouds for the win!
Go Texans!!
Script writer scared
He a Ohio State Buckeye, Good Show.
As a Colts fan, I’m simultaneously happy for the Texans fans to get this win and extremely depressed that CJ Stroud could be in our division for the next 10-15 years… maybe it’s time to consider realigning the divisions again 😅
I'm from Houston. I enjoy the Indy rivalry.
No realignment, we Texans fans had to suffer through the Peyton Manning years. Now it’s The Colts turn.
@@randomkillerx2157facts I couldn't stand Peyton lol he made us suffer year after year especially the Ty Hilton era
I'm a colts fan and I love that the division will be very competitive for years to come.
@@randomkillerx2157 us colts fans have a good team here in indy as well. It could go either way for years to come.
The Texans are way ahead of schedule. Coach and rookie of the year. Go H Town!
In his rookie season, Stroud led the league in passing yards per game and TD/INT ratio. Only two other quarterbacks have done that in league history:
Tom Brady
Joe Montana
Not bad
I don't think Tom started in his rookie year. He was on his rookie contract when Drew got injured, but it was not his rookie year. CJ Stroud is now the youngest QB to ever win a post-season game.
The stats not about rookie records. It's about passing yards and int ratio combined.
All due respect to you Mr Eisen, it was only unbelievable to those of you who weren’t paying attention to CJ Stroud all season
Exactly, I had a feeling right from the start of the season that they would be making the playoffs and winning a game, winning in this fashion is a bonus!
Yeah, because everyone thought that the Texans were gonna suck this season.
haha the Bryce Young fanboys are just waiting for CJ Stroud to lose, aint no way Bryce makes those throws even with a decent line....CJ throws 60 yard bombs like they're nothing.
@@rifraf1717 And now the Bears have their pick 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rich knew how good CJ was before the game. His coverage of CJ hasn't sold him short, just his expectations for this game. It's refreshing to see him own it.
Imagine if we had Tank Dell
We will again!
@@chrisanders713 facts
Oh that's definitely happening.
Exactly and think about what if we could get Evans next year
I wish I didn't have to work so I could have watched that game but I am so happy with how my team showed up and showed out none the less. Here's hoping we can keep doing the same thing all the way to our first Lombardi! Go Texans!!!
I know you're grateful for the job, but man, that sucks lol. It seems like it always happens that way. . . You'll be off work on a day you don't mind working and then have to work on a day like today lol
Those back to back pick 6s sealed the deal.. watching it live was crazy like that rarely happens
I'm telling you Stroud is the guy I knew this since he was drafted he's always been amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥 go Texans 🎉
lol man, you shoulda told Tepper that ...almost feel bad for the Panthers...NOT...at least my Saints will have a team we can sweep for a few more years now....congrats to the Texans..what a story and what a quick turn around...unbelieveable ..what stood out for me was that Defense and I thought the Browns had the D
After I saw him in his 1st pre season game I knew they had the best QB in the division.
CJ Stroud continues to impress me with every game he plays. He's a stud and is gonna terrorize defenses for years to come. Demeco Ryans is also a hell of a coach. That's a lethal combo.
CJ for MVP!
CJ had those stats in the first half against the best D in the NFL!
You know what amazes me is how easy he makes it look its his first season. He has IT, he is HIM.
IKR!
Congratulations to the Houston Texans!
We're already building the Lovie statue at NRG
CJ Stroud is the real deal!
I don't know whats worse: Choosing Bryce over CJ or getting fleeced by Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson
Is worst
He's been injured for two months and y'all can't stop talking about him ffs, keep hating
@anibalrodriguez2626 because he's a quarterback in the nfl. What's wrong with you.
Falcons and Texans had a deal for DeShaun Watson. But Cleveland swooped in and offered Watson a massive guarantee money. Watson being Watson demanded he’d only accept a deal to the Browns.
This is Karma, because now Cleveland made the playoffs without Watson. But because they are paying Watson all that money, they can’t afford all of their top talent.
And they have not drafted a player in the 1st round in 3 years, even though they proved to be an elite drafting organization.
All because they could live without Watson, who’s been a zero for them for 2 seasons.
Plus because the Texans beat the Brown, it only improves the draft pick they will send to the Texans.
@@V1NL0 You make me thank the Browns even more!😂😉
CJ Stroud is the league MVP no matter if he is a rookie!
Thank You! Been saying this for months!
There are two sides of Flacco. As a Ravens fan I've seen both of them. You saw both of them today too. Stroud was good. Flacco spotted them 14 points in the second half and with that the momentum.
Stroud wasn't good. Stroud is GREAT!
Stroud was less than two points shy of a perfect quarterback rating, as a rookie, against the NFL's #1 defense.
wait til he meets a real defense
@@ericparker163
The browns defense forced flacco to play different. The game plan would have been called differently if not playing from behind
There defense give up 30 on the road and red zone defense is trash put it in context my raven dog ro said it back then point aloud we run this. Go flock
Imo it wasn't just Stroud the entire Texans team looked like a force to be reckoned with.
I was at this game and the Wild Card game against the Bills in 2020. The environment tonight was miles ahead of what I thought the greatest game I had ever attended was.
The Texans and their fans owe Lovie Smith a gift basket at the very least 😆
nope, Texans owed Tepper, and Texans GM, and HC. Smith got nothing to do with Texans drafted CJ.
They baited Carolina to take Bryce why you think that test came out 😉🤫🤫
@@TXN79screwed us? He took pride in playing the game to win. Tanking should be illegal. Play it to win it. It brought good karma tbh
Yes they do.
Houston and Chicago need to co-sign on a statue for Lovie.
I was waiting on this Rich!! CJ is the future
He’s the present. This league is always desperate for franchise QBs and he’s already in the divisional round.
And the present as he will lead his team to its first Superbowl title!
49ers fan here 😢LETS GO DEMECOOOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉 WE MISS YOU BRO MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS YOU IN EVERYTHING YOU DO! IN JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏
💯❤ so happy for him and the Texans
Amen brother!
I’m 9ers fan as well, I was happy for him. Wish he didn’t leave, but happy for his success
we might see each other in the big dance
So much for the Browns vs. Lions Super Bowl.
Hey that what’s dreaming about…Go Texans go…
Time for Texans cowboys bowl
@@gradystanley5812 Pretty sure the Cowboys are one and done this playoff season. But that would be an interesting match up. Would much rather see the Lions finally get a chance at a ring.
No one who has ever seen the Browns play was expecting anything less. Should've been 52-14.
To dream the impossible dream...
As a Cleveland fan, to be fair, I honestly thought we'd win this one. Not anything after, but I figured we had good odds to win today. If we lost, I figured it would be at least close. Man can Stroud play. That was wild.
Wasn't so much how great Stroud played but how Browns D and secondary didnt.
Because y’all were overrated there was no way yall were going to win with stroud and most of our starters back it was a completely different team yall faced yesterday
In what world bro Joe Flacco was playing mediocre at best yall defense so was good y’all was rescuing him this coming from a Ravens fans there is a reason we released him and regretted paying him after that superbowl he is so frustratingly inconsistent he is a headache he was due for a shitter and come down to earth to the journey man QB he is now
The problem with Cleveland Browns fans is that most of them we’re looking towards the revenge game against the Baltimore Ravens and knocking them out of the playoffs, instead of taking care of the task and hand called the Houston Texans! 😂😂😂
@@mr.latebloomer9616leading in every major qb category since he joined the browns wasnt playing mediocre u fool.
This was a helluva game. Even after that second pick-6.
Stingley was incredible today too. Stud locked down the Browns all game.
Not taking anything away from the Houston rookie quarterback. He played lights out. But the offensive line and the OC played and called a phenomenal game against that defense. Respect
Thank you for seeing the big picture.
No one talking about a key matchup Tunsil-Garret. Literally neutralizednmiles and gave CJ protection.
Myles has been playing with an injured shoulder the last 5 weeks and hasn't been himself since the injury. He's had 1 sack in the last 5 weeks, and their D has gone from 5th to 18th since then.
@@pkpnyt4711hold the L
@@bandobandssI'm a Niners fan and just calling it as I see it. HOU (Stroud) deserverd the win, just saying that someone neutralized someone without context is at best misleading.
Then let's bring in Tunsil ongoing knee to the conversation
Fant did very well covering for Tunsil (went out 2nd quarter) until the 3rd quarter when he returned with a brace on his knee. By then the game was already over being 31-14 (2 picks by Flacco the ancient one). I think Fant shuold also get some kudos for a very good game.
Amazing play from Stroud.
great take! appreciate the fair play as a life-long Houston supporter… hahaha
How can you tell the Texans won without saying it. Rich Eisen: "Alright, well..." *removes glasses* .
Stroud throws a beautiful deep pass
And to think he was about a foot too long on adding another TD and forty-fifty yards passing.
How did Michigan beat him TWICE at Ohio State! He is my new favorite NFL QB!
Ohio state defense was not good. Michigan dominated them on the run game
Defense was horrendous when Stroud was there. I think if he had this past years defense, they would have won at least one of those.
Rich Eisen, Chris Brockman, and the entire media have never ever ever heard the term “regress to the mean”. It was inevitable that a 38 year old signed off his couch would not magically continue to be a superstar. Just ask Fitzmagic.
Total team game. Stingley was elite. Nelson pick 6. Cashman and Harris killed it. Anderson also showed his difference making. Such great pressure. The D was amazing. Nico and Motor. Dalton. Killed it!
@arianprofit no mention of how great Shroud played??
Stroud is ballin 😮
I knew I should have not have change my pick for this game congratulate Houston Texans for winning your playoff game in your first tried 😮
Flacco said his couch felt better than the Texans field!!!
I watched Stroud ball out at Ohio State. Almost won the Heisman. He makes great decisions, reads the defense well, is an accurate passer, poised in the pocket. Happy that he's balling out in the NFL.
Awesome game and love hearing Richs sound bites
Rich ... glad you're doing an instant reaction type thing like Colin Cowherd ... you're too good not to. The Houston Texans ... not the Buffalo Bills ... are the most dangerous teams in the "tourney" ... and a SuperBowl is not out of the question; just like it wasn't in Tom Brady's first shot at it .
Except Colin ducks and dodges his own previously held opinion like they were bullets in the matrix.
As a dolphins fan it’s disheartening to see yet another team in the conference with a better qb than us. Stroud throws a beautiful deep ball, the type I can only dream of seeing!
Houston Texans could be a scary dangerously team in the playoffs. Holy cow am I wrong about this situation. What a beautiful difference a team make and thank you Lovie Smith because Houston doesn't have a problem, Houston has a situation to shock and prove people wrong come playoff time. We could have first rookie QB and first rookie HC to go to the Superbowl. CJ Stroud rookie of the year in offense, Will Anderson Jr defense rookie of the year and DeMeco Ryans Coach of the year.
And the Houston Texans with 3 new guys at the helm become Superbowl Champs of the year! Let's call it the 4 Dimensions of the Texans!
Sorry but will anderson has zero chance of winning defensive rookie of the year
The story of that game was the Browns #1 defense didn't look good at all vs the Texans. This lead the Browns to be playing from behind the whole time and becoming one dimensional throwing the ball. Same old Browns.
The story should be CJ will carve up defenses like a thanksgiving turkey no matter who you are.
Congratulations to Texans fans 🏆🇺🇸🏈
Rich, I appreciate your humility!
Rich wants a Ravens Browns playoff game? DENIED says CJ Stroud!!!!!
Game would have been a boring defensive slug fest like most AFC North matchups. Glad that didn't happen.
Texas/Stroud are gonna get lit up by the Ravens. Don't bother playing it.
@@neanderthalsnavel7411Keep that energy 😉😉
@@neanderthalsnavel7411 I don’t care i’m a dolphins fan 😭
Denile isnt just in Egypt.
Waiting for your take!😊
I'm greatly glad for CJ, his story is a difficult one and his sadness gives him a maturity far beyond his years.
Cleveland browns fan here. That was a painful loss! Kudos to Texas and the rookies credit where credit is due! That being said like they said coming into this game that it would be different cuz they were healthy this game... can't wait to play them again when we are healthy and not missing 26% of our roster... maybe one day.... but hey good game, good game, now go win the whole thing so at least we can say you didn't just beat us you beat everyone!
Imagine if the Texans didn't lose Tytus Howard, Tank Dell and Jimmie Ward.....
We also won’t be missing tank Dell and load up on free agency since we actually have cap space 😂
Well said!
@@svenjorgensenn8418 3 people vs 26 percent of your roster and most are starters... big difference. We were missing 4 lineman, 3 safeties, running back ( number 1 running back in the nfl ), our starting qb, kicker, punter, 9 of which are starters. Not saying that guarantees a W but you can say that don't change things...
Texans head coach ! Great all around game.
Just gonna say it. GO TEXANS! SWARM! 4 more quarters!
Let's go!!!
I thought Flacco’s experience would prevail in this game but the opposite occurred! CJ has the potential to be another Patrick Mahomes
CJ Stroud is an overcomer. He is so talented and deserves every blessing in life after growing up with a father who was and is still unfortunately incarcerated. The man is an inspiration. Never let life circumstances, dictate your future.
As mixed race people, we get knocked around all the time (when I was much younger, a prospective white employer said to me in my interview, he cannot hire me because I will have children and he needs someone reliable. Well, I am a straight Christian, 54 years old and never have been married or pregnant in my life- completed graduate school as well as run several businesses).
Although I am a lifelong 49ers fan, I am so proud of his success. I love researching all the players on all the teams.
How did you turn a post about CJ's success into a narcissistic rant about how badly you were treated by an ignorant interviewer? Just because you will have no legacy to leave behind due to your personal issues doesn't meant that CJ is going to deal with anything you have dealt with.
A man who makes millions of dollars is not getting knocked around all the time.
@@jtfike When you are black, racism is felt by all levels of the social economic system. Money doesn't automatically make you obtain the privilege that white people experience from birth to death.
When I was born, I was so white they separated me to be with Caucasian newborns and the nurses could not find me. My mother is brown. So even at birth, you are judged by the color of you are skin.
We were all newborns, we equally had no money but we, black, mixed people were "knocked around" from birth.
Wow. I too thought Cleveland. But, congratulations to TX. 🎉🏈 TX.
The Stroud Boys killed it today
Thanks for owning it Rich, signed a lifelong Texans fan (theirs not mine 😂)
It sounded like he almost said at the hair studio @ .51 seconds 😂
The way the background blurred when the glasses came off was crazy
For Stroud…that Old Axiom comes to mind: “The Game Isn’t Too Big for Him‼️” 💪
"The Game" was stolen from him twice.
I think you were meaning to say either adage or idiom. Instead you merged them into a word that def doesn't fit. But it's kind of fun how you ended up there.
@@hdbtftsg So, I questioned it myself (???) before using it by checking Merriam Webster:
“Axiom” (noun)
An idea or statement put forth and accepted as true by many people.
Example: The retired judge recounted the old legal axiom which states that “justice and law are not always the same.”
Also…An Adage is a Proverb or an Old Saying that is used to express a truth or wise advice. An Axiom is a Self-Evident Truth or a Statement that is Assumed to Be True Without Proof (Was the game bigger than Stroud? Blinding Flash of the Obvious: No It Wasn’t!!)!
Example of an adage: "A picture is worth a thousand words." Example of an axiom: "All humans are equal." (Jan 8, 2023)
Make of it what You Will, but “Axiom” seems appropriate for most of us. But knowing most people will interchange those words without precise knowledge - it doesn’t really matter. We all get The Point!👊🍻
@@catsailor8621 My sincere apologies. For some reason I read it as "Axion". Axiom is a great word to use there. I appreciate your graciousness as well.
@@hdbtftsg You’re Very Kind and I Enjoyed the Educational Side of this…Plus the Discourse with you! Have a Great New Year, Stay Well, Be Alert Wherever You Go and Stay Safe‼️ 🙏 👊 🍻
CJ Stroud happened to that #1 defense. Incredible
After Dell was out I wrote the Texans off, but I like to be wrong here! :-) To listen to Rich is great, I subscribed here.
Rich knew CJ was that dude he carved up the team up north both times to get let down by the defense. But him he will be one of the best we have ever seen
That dude was cool like a seasoned veteran. Cool,calm and collected. Very impressive. Never panicked,always controlled. That guy has a bright future ahead.
Texans lit it up, man. They played so well. Flacco with a pick 6 on back-to-back drives didn't help Cleveland, but that's how it goes. I've had a soft spot for Houston for a long time. I'm certainly not upset to see them move on, even though I was rooting for the Flaccosance.
I'm not sure why sports media doesn't care about the Texans we have the same amount of playoff wins as the cowgirls since 1996
Everyone was doubting the Texans, Stroud is a legit QB and he is on a elite level and as long as you got that your always have a chance at a Super Bowl
Rich… you are a real one. I feel like I’m talking with the boys. Stroud boys unite… stand down and stand by
You weren’t really paying attention to this team. This is a special group. Even the Ravens are going to have their hands full with this team. They don’t have depth but the team got healthy right at the end. And the starters are SO good.
As a Texans fan. I'm just as shocked as you are. Thanks for your honesty though. I thought Flacco and company would give us a hell of a time. This team is fun to watch this year finally. Keep up with your honesty though. I completely respect it. Blessings from H-Town. Keep it Trill!
I was out enjoying a nice day (in Arizona, far from the awful weather many folks are suffering through) and got to a bar late in the 4th quarter. When I saw the score, my jaw dropped. I mean, I wouldn't have been shocked to see Texans up by a field goal...but not a bonafide blowout. Wow. What a turnaround for a team none of us took seriously for years.
I certainly do now!
Rich, things happen and everything you know went south... and another team emerged, the victor, and the other excised. I like the teams that won, all are worthy... next round should tell the tale so the real games can begin.
Bring on Baltimore! Texans aren't scared!
The Ravens don’t expect the Texans to be afraid of them, the Ravens just expect the Texans to respect them, unlike the Browns did.
Well put, sir
All the more amazing considering how dysfunctional the Texans were before the arrival of this great coach and this great QB.
Yeah they were I was so pissed and I also got to give credit to the owners cuz they took note that they were losing their fan base and decided to make huge changes an announce some new things and that they listening to the fans they even rebranding themselves and new uniforms coming and man I believe they sat the tone and getting demeco was the start just amazing my prayers were answered I'm so happy 🤘🏼
This is a different era for Texans football. It's really unbelievable how good this kid and this team is. WOW
He's a 22 year old millionaire. Stop calling these men kids.......
Alot of idiots kept thinking about furst game we played, i kept telling yall CJ wasnt the only one missing greenard, will, and other key players
FIRST TIME FOR EVERTHING................ I Am GLAD ITS COMMING THROUGH OUR CITY OF HOUSTON!!!
CJ Will Anderson and Stingley are a great young trio
As a Chicago Bears fan to the Houston Texans fan base…you are welcome!
What a turnaround.
Thank you Cleveland.
He’s pretty amazing, that C J Stroud.
Yes I know the AFC south isn’t great and didn’t have the hardest schedule but, they did play the AFC north which is one of the tougher divisions and three teams had 9 plus wins, not to bad for a crappy division, considering the records of two of those teams last year.
'Ol Rich is bummed out that he didn't getthe Flacco-Ravens storyline...lol
It’s okay Rich I still love you ❤
Difficult to say just how good CJ is. One thing is for sure, his stock is surging
I've watched every Texans game this season. It's real easy to say he is has good as he was today. CJ is elite.
He accomplished something his rookie year, (most ypg, best td to int ratio for a single season,) that has only been achieved by Montana and Brady, who each did it once. So his ceiling is basically best to ever play the position.
Yeah let's hope he gets a reality check next year. This is sickening.
It was a great game by Houston. Looked unbeatable
So refreshing to hear a prominent media figure say "Boy was I wrong." Thank you Rich! GO TEXANS!!
Great job Stroud and Texans!
This is no surprise to Ohio State fans! OSU has an extraordinary program that sets up their talent for success! The NFL has reached a new era and these young men are hungry and talented, a winning combination! We the fans are in for some spectacular football for the next 10 years!❤❤❤
I appreciate you eating humble pie, admitting your wrong.
This was a complete Texans Team win! Stroud and Offense did a lot, and Texans Defense literally had a Ball....twice!
So awesome!
If they do that again and bring their best shot against Baltimore (assuming Buffalo wins) then they could go to the AFC Championship for the first time ever. A Houston versus Buffalo matchup in that round would be wild and Houston would come in with nothing to lose while Buffalo has all the pressure with Super Bowl expectations and one would wonder if Buffalo keeps their poise after beating Kansas City in that case. Considering this wild NFL season, you never know what may happen.
“Everybody smile!”
CJ Stroud outstanding performance just a baller
God bless coach Smith I was happy when he did it cause he deserved better and even happier seeing what I'm seeing
Good point on Lovie.
Lotsa Texans fans pissed last year...
They should probably be sending dude a bonus!!!
It would have been enough for the Texans to have played Cleveland close, with Stroud able to operate at game speed, showing little effect due to the playoff conditions. As it is... get excited Houston. Your rookie QB's got you standing proud in the NFL and who knows what happens if the Ravens start to buckle.
Great game Rich, too bad I couldn't watch the Chiefs-Dolphins game because I didn't want to subscribe to Peacock.
