Dan Orlovsky Apologizes for Overstating Blame on TexansC.J. Stroud

The ESPN analyst acknowledged violating his own standard against crediting or faulting results solely to a quarterback.

Overview

  • Orlovsky apologized on Thursday’s Get Up, saying he "crossed the line" after claiming Houston would have won with 31 other quarterbacks.
  • He noted he did not want to diminish New England’s defense and admitted there were better ways to critique Stroud’s performance.
  • The apology followed days of online defense of his take, including a posted list of quarterbacks he said could have won the game.
  • Stroud finished 20-of-47 for 212 yards with one touchdown and four interceptions—four in the first half—in a 28-16 loss to the Patriots.
  • Texans GM Nick Caserio emphasized offseason improvement over public contract talk as media scrutiny of Stroud’s trajectory continues.
