Rookie QB C.J. Stroud Leads Texans Against Ravens in AFC Divisional Playoff

Stroud, the youngest quarterback to win a postseason game, faces off against the top-seeded Ravens in a rematch of their season opener.

The Houston Texans, led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, will face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round NFL playoff matchup on Saturday, Jan. 20, 2024, at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Stroud, who was selected by the Texans as the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, has had a remarkable rookie season, becoming the youngest quarterback to win a postseason game.
In their previous playoff game, the Texans defeated the Cleveland Browns 45-14, with Stroud throwing three touchdown passes and the team's defense returning interceptions for touchdowns on consecutive drives in the third quarter.
The Ravens, who had a 13-4 regular season record, will host the game as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, earning them the first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs.
The Ravens defeated the Texans 25-9 in their season opener, but since then, Stroud has produced one of the greatest rookie quarterback seasons in league history.
