Texans Stalled by Seahawks 27-19 on MNF as Protection Crumbles and Stroud Accepts Blame

Protection failures exposed an offense that must regroup for the 49ers.

Overview

  • Houston fell to 2-4 after producing 254 total yards and just 3.7 yards per play in Seattle.
  • C.J. Stroud finished 23-of-49 for 229 yards with 1 touchdown and 1 interception, taking 3 sacks and facing pressure on roughly one-third of his dropbacks.
  • The rushing attack was ineffective, with Woody Marks and Nick Chubb limited to 31 yards on 15 carries.
  • The Texans did not capitalize on four Seahawks turnovers and faced criticism for conservative third- and fourth-and-1 calls and a late kickoff that did not follow instructions.
  • Right tackle Tytus Howard described the team as “complacent,” and Houston now prepares to host the 5-2 49ers.
