Texans teammates continue to back CJ Stroud even after near-disaster MNF performance

For the first three quarters of this past Monday's Wild Card matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Houston Texans CJ Stroud looked like he was on the verge of having one of the most stunning single-game collapses in recent NFL Playoff history. The third-year quarterback fumble a staggering five times and threw an interception as well, almost single-handedly keeping the Steelers alive in a game in which their offense couldn't even crack 200 total yards or more than 6 points.

CJ Stroud's performance was so disastrous and disappointing that it even prompted former Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell to joke -- or perhaps it was a serious point-shaving accusation -- that Stroud should be investigated by the league.
