CJ Stroud needs to stop letting go of the ball.

Bear Bryant used to say, three things can happen to a pass, and two of them is bad. Or in Stroud's situation, all three are bad today.

I tune in and the commentators are yelling about CJ Stroud. 4 interceptions in half a game?

Drake Maye 3 fumbles in the first half!!!

It's like a comedy of errors. At least Maye can take consolation in his teams 21-10 lead.

C.J.’s road to the Super Bowl and Canton, OH starts in the 2nd half. Or maybe not.

Hard to know which one said it first. I know I heard Bryant say it when he was asked why they switched to the wishbone in 1971, so it dates back at least that far.

I do feel bad for CJ, though. And I really admire their coach.

...and I notice the Texans don't use play-action as part of their offense. That taking a lot away when you have a QB who can run a little bit.
