No Nico, no problem Stroud completed 20 of 31 passes for 192 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots. He added three rushing attempts for seven yards.

Impact Stroud was unfazed by the absence of leading receiver Nico Collins (hamstring), capping Houston's first two drives with touchdown passes of two yards to Tank Dell and 10 yards to Joe Mixon. The second-year quarterback was unlucky on his second-quarter interception, which bounced out of Dalton Schultz's hands in the end zone and went right to a Patriots defender, but Stroud bounced back with a 10-yard touchdown pass to Stefon Diggs in the third quarter. Houston rode the running game and defense from there in a game that was never in doubt, and Stroud got to savor the victory from the sideline while Davis Mills came in for mop-up duty. Stroud will bring a 10:4 TD:INT into a Week 7 trip to Lambeau Field.

Throws for 331 in Week 5 win Stroud completed 28 of 38 passes for 331 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills. He added three rushing attempts for 27 yards and lost a fum...

Impact Stroud racked up 187 passing yards in the first half, highlighted by a 67-yard touchdown pass to Nico Collins, who later left the game due to a hamstring injury. Without his top target, the second-year quarterback fell apart in the fourth quarter, turning the ball over on consecutive possessions and then knocking the Texans out of field-goal range with an ill-timed intentional grounding penalty. Houston's defense and special teams closed out the win, and a 59-yard Ka'imi Fairbairn field goal on the game's final play ensured that Stroud's second straight game with more than 330 passing yards didn't go to waste. Even if Collins doesn't play against the Patriots in Week 6, Stroud still has the means to be effective with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell as his top two wide receivers.
