Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud made his NFL debut on Thursday night against the New England Patriots in Foxborough.

Houston won the game 20-9, but the big story of the night was all about how Stroud looked in the two series he played in his first preseason game.

Louis Riddick discusses the interception Stroud threw on 3rd and long, and shares his thoughts on what he learned about the Texans rookie in his first NFL action.

A lot of people are going to make a big deal about the sack and the pick, but it's hard to come to any significant conclusions based on just four throws.

Harry Douglas also makes a good point when mentioned that Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik also made his debut as an OC. If he had it to do over again, Slowik probably should have told Stroud to take the check down and not force anything on 3 and 21.

Plus, Douglas adds that the first year in the Shanahan system is a “juggernaut” for any quarterback. Veteran or rookie.
