Where does Texans' CJ Stroud rank among QBs in QBR entering Week 15?
Stroud looked more like himself for the first time in months after a 20-10 win in Arrowhead on Sunday, throwing for over 200 yards and a touchdown. His passer rating hovered at 80.4, while his QBR came in at 33.4.
The Chiefs got extra aggressive after taking a 10-0 deficit into the break, which was built by Stroud's 171 yards passing and a touchdown in the first half. Spagnuolo called blitz after blitz to try to counter his success, and the plan worked as the extra pressure coinciding with defensive tackle Chris Jones' dominant pass rush got after Stroud.
The Texans’ offense, after an encouraging start Sunday night, were stymied by the masterclass adjustments of veteran Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo and an aggressive pass rush spurred on by star defensive lineman Chris ‘Stone Cold’ Jones.
If you can cast your minds back to when Stroud was struggling with the new Nick Caley offense; it was pre-snap movement and poor levels of protection that was hindering him the most. Perhaps the time away has benefitted Stroud in terms of getting to know what Caley is trying to do and achieve for the long haul.
