THE STORY 🗞️

INGLEWOOD, Calif. C.J. Stroud spent the week sick. On Sunday he looked like the best quarterback on the field by a distance.

Stroud threw for 384 yards and five touchdowns as Houston hammered the Chargers 44-22, despite feeling ill all week, according to the AP. The Houston Chronicle reported he was dealing with chills. The Texans are now 3-5, and the Chargers are 0-8 for the first time in franchise history.

Every one of Stroud's touchdown passes came on a throw of 10 or more air yards. ESPN Insights said that tied the most in a game since it began tracking air yards in 2006.

Deep shots all day

Two of the scores went 63 yards, one to Tank Dell and one to Kayshon Boutte. Boutte finished with four catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns, and Dell added 105 yards on four grabs. Nico Collins and Xavier Hutchinson also caught touchdown passes.

Houston outscored the Chargers 24-9 after halftime, per ClutchPoints. The defense was just as loud. Herbert was sacked a career-high eight times, according to the Los Angeles Times, and Derek Stingley Jr. added an interception.

The Chargers did end a 37-drive run without a touchdown when Quentin Johnston caught a 58-yard pass from Herbert in the fourth quarter. By then it was long over.

OUR TAKE 🐶

Houston started 0-4. It is now 3-5 with three wins in four games, and Stroud is throwing with real confidence again. The AFC wild-card picture just got another name back in it.

For the Chargers, 0-8 is not a slump. Eight sacks allowed points to a protection problem that no single game plan will fix.
