Divisional Round Showdown: Which NFL Teams Are Poised to Defy Expectations?
Houston was foiled that day by two Stroud interceptions that the Chiefs turned into 10 points as well as an inability to convert inside the red zone, an ongoing problem for the AFC South titleholders this season. The Texans settled for field goals on two of their three trips inside the Kansas City 20, while the Chiefs scored three touchdowns in five red-zone opportunities (and they ran out the clock on the last one).
We highlighted last week how successful the Texans have been when Stroud plays at a high level and conversely struggles when he does as well, and taking care of the ball plays a big factor into that equation. The 2023 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year threw just three interceptions with a low pickable pass percentage (PKP%) of 2.98 in Houston’s 10 regular-season wins. In its seven losses, Stroud was picked nine times with a combined PKP% of 5.29.
