Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud just bought himself a lot more points from the (many) football fans who loathe the Dallas Cowboys.
CJ Stroud won Offensive Rookie of the Year honors in 2023 after leading the Houston Texans to 10 wins and a surprise AFC South division crown. They defeated the Cleveland Browns in the Wild Card Round before falling to the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the Divisional Round.
And Stroud has earned more popularity league-wide by savagely roasting the most despised team in football. In a TikTok video that has since gone viral, Stroud caused an uproar of laughter by stating, “I don’t play for the weak a*s Cowboys).
Here’s the extra juicy part: CJ Stroud and his Texans will visit those very Dallas Cowboys on ESPN “Monday Night Football” in Week 11 on Nov. 18. That will be the last of three straight prime time games for the Texans, who have a Halloween Thursday nighter against the New York Jets and a Sunday nighter a week later against the Detroit Lions.
The Texans and Cowboys last met in 2022, with Dallas barely squeaking out a 27-23 victory at home against a Houston team that had one win at the time. The last three meetings have been decided by a single score.
CJ Stroud & Texans Open Season At Colts
CJ Stroud and the Texans will be challenged early when they visit the AFC South rival Indianapolis Colts to open their season on Sept. 8 at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Houston narrowly outlasted Indianapolis in a win-or-go-home Week 18 showdown last year to secure a playoff berth. The Texans then claimed the AFC South when the Jacksonville Jaguars were stunned by the lowly Tennessee Titans.
Houston and Indianapolis split the two-game season series last year. Their season series will conclude in Week 8 on Oct. 27, when Anthony Richardson and the Colts meet the Texans at NRG Stadium.
