The Houston Texans are recovering from a 21-13 loss to the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in Week 9.

The game was one of the team’s worst performances of the season and came against a beatable Jets team, who ended a five-game losing streak by winning.

Texans quarterback CJ Stroud didn’t mince his words after the game regarding his team’s performance.

“Of course it’s embarrassing,” Stroud said after the game. “Coming here during a prime time game and being embarrassed like that is never fun. I believe we need to be better in many areas and it starts with me. I think there are games that I have to make, throws that I have to make “Sometimes I have to stay in the pocket and trust my guys. I’m really pointing the finger at myself and realizing I need to be better as a footballer. If we want to win, this is not the recipe for it. We need to learn to dominate and stop learning to pace ourselves and play the fourth quarter like we should be able to play well in the first half and then go for it in the second. I think we need to have a better mindset. a whole.”

Stroud and the Texans will have a little more time to reflect and collect their minds before their Week 10 Sunday Night Football matchup against the Detroit Lions at home.
