Houston Texans quarterback CJ Stroud had the worst game of his career on a national stage.
The Houston Texans played so poorly in a 31-2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens that the sellout crowd inside NRG Stadium was already booing before they even saw Beyoncé’s halftime show.
Beyonce showed up and gave the fans something to cheer about.
Once the second half began, the Texans made no adjustments and found themselves being booed several more times before thousands of fans began making their early exit.
Stroud was fine with Wednesday’s crowd response, especially after he admitted that he had “probably one of my worst games of my whole career.”
“People are entitled to their opinions. They care about the game. Their emotions matter, so I understand,” said CJ Stroud.
“This is not my first time and probably won’t be my last. It’s not something to internalize and point the finger at yourself but it is something that you can use to motivate you, to not want those moments anymore.”
