The Houston Texans took a major step forward as a franchise on Sunday when rookie quarterback CJ Stroud led a game-winning touchdown drive against the Buccaneers with 46 seconds left on the clock.

Stroud and the Texans secured the win pushing their record to 4-4 on the season. In the process CJ Stroud broke so many records that we can't possibly cover them all here, but Adam Schefter listed several in a post on X.

It's a new day for the Texans and their fan base. Games like this typically end in heartbreak for Houston fans, but not this time! And the future looks bright for the Texans as they have their franchise QB, and a terrific head coach in DeMeco Ryans.

The timing couldn't have been better, too, with it appearing that Stroud looks like the best QB in the draft class. While the Texans did lose to the Panthers last week, Stroud bounced back in a big way against the Bucs.

CJ said all week leading up to the game against Tampa Bay that the offense needed to be more aggressive. It's safe to say Stroud backed up his comments with a historic performance.

And on that same day Bryce Young threw 3 total interceptions, 2 were returned for touchdowns, while losing to the Colts and slipping to 1-7 on the season.

It's also an interesting coincidence that the Cowboys needed a touchdown with 46 seconds left in the game against the Eagles and weren't able to close the deal.

Plus, Stroud was so impressive this week, former players like Richard Sherman and Robert Griffin III are labeling Stroud as a Top 10 QB in the NFL.

Stroud is also an overwhelming favorite now to win Offensive Rookie of the Year at -500 after his incredible performance on Sunday.

So how good can this Texans offense be?
