With only one game in the books, CJ Stroud has climbed the active playoff passing yards leaderboards as he has more passing yards than some notable quarterbacks. One of the biggest names he passed with 274 passing yards against the Cleveland Browns in the AFC Wild Card Round was Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.

CJ Stroud finished his first playoff game with 274 passing yards. In Justin Herbert’s singular postseason game, he finished with 273 passing yards. This sure will not get some fans upset as Stroud looked incredible and will have an opportunity next week to continue climbing the list of playoff passing yards.
The Houston Texans have won their first playoff game and will be preparing next week for whatever team advances. They will likely be on the road for the remainder of the playoffs as the fourth seed in the AFC but there is a possibility they can play next week in NRG Stadium if Wild Card teams win the remaining two AFC games.
If the two divisional champions win this weekend, the Texans will be in Baltimore in the Divisional Round. The Houston Texans defense showcased their abilities and the offense was able to record 45 points in the victory. Cleveland was one of the top defensive teams but the offenses for the Browns and Ravens are on two completely different looks.
CJ Stroud showcased his abilities to continue dominating in postseason games, whether it be as a member of the Ohio State Buckeyes or the Texans. This team is going to be a tough out no matter who they are going against.
