Rookie QB hails ‘Jesus Christ’ on TV after epic game.
A Breakout Rookie NFL Quarterback Highlights His Faith in Jesus After Leading a Comeback Win
C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans spoke passionately about his religion in a post-game interview with CBS News on Sunday.
Stroud had just completed a game-winning 75-yard touchdown drive to defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home 39-37.
However, the 2023 second-overall draft pick shifted the focus to his faith when asked about the game-winning touchdown pass to Tank Dell.
“First and foremost man, I’ve got to give all glory and praise to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, man,” Stroud made it clear.

“These last couple weeks, I’ve been up and down. I’ve been going through a lot on and off the field.”
“But when you give your life to the Lord, man, he gives you opportunities, and it’s what you do with it.”
“I do it for the glory of God, man.”
Stroud went on to credit the route-running of his receivers and the time management of the Texans’ coaching staff for their instrumental role in the comeback victory.
