The Houston Texans experienced a disappointing 34-7 defeat against the Minnesota Vikings, revealing flaws not seen in prior weeks.
C.J. Stroud noted that the Texans' 11 penalties for 88 yards hindered their performance, emphasizing the need for better play on third downs. He acknowledged that the Texans must avoid self-inflicted errors to improve going forward.
With two turnovers against the Vikings, Stroud faces heightened scrutiny as teams now prepare for him differently. Coach DeMeco Ryans stressed the importance of collective accountability among players following the team's mistakes.
The Texans aim to regroup and secure a victory in their upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
