He returns to a Texans team that hasn’t lost since then, reeling off three straight wins with backup Davis Mills to improve to 6-5 – a game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars (7-4) for second in the division and behind the first-place Colts (8-3).
Stroud and Houston have two games left against Indy, meaning if they have a chance to win a third straight title, now is the time.
The Texans are 3-5 with Stroud starting this year. He has completed 66.5% of his passes for 1,702 yards, 11 touchdowns and five interceptions.
We’ll see on Sunday if he has any rust to shake off as he looks to keep the Texans’ streak alive against the No. 1 Colts.
