With the Houston Texans recording the last-second 34-31 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in London, England, it once again featured a standout performance from quarterback C.J. Stroud. As Stroud led the Texans to victory over the Jaguars, head coach DeMeco Ryans mentioned one point he agrees with the fanbase.

In the win over Jacksonville, Stroud would throw for 312 yards to go along with three touchdown passes and one interception, while completing 24 out of 34 pass attempts. As Stroud has been impressing this season, to the point where fans have mentioned he should be a candidate for MVP, Ryans agrees with the sentiment.

“Our fans are right: C.J. Stroud for MVP,” Ryans said, via Aaron Wilson.

Through five games, Stroud threw for 1,402 yards with six touchdowns and zero interceptions, meaning he added three more scores and recorded his first pick of the season. Ryans would not only credit Stroud, but also his buy-in to the system of offensive coordinator Nick Caley.

“He's been hot all year. He's doing an outstanding job of leading this offense. Credit to him, the guy leading us and coach [Nick] Caley,” Ryans said.

Texans' DeMeco Ryans on the “resolve” from C.J. Stroud

Stroud's first interception with the Texans came in a pivotal moment of the game, with the team up three points with just under four minutes left in the game. While the Jaguars would tie the game on the next drive, Stroud led a drive that put Houston in field goal position to ultimately win the game, as Ryans praises his “resolve.”

‘To see his resolve, ‘I got you, coach, don't worry about it,' He understood the mistake he made. Look at how he responded,” Ryans said, per Wilson.

After a second straight win, there's no denying that Stroud has faith.

“I have all the hope in our team,” Stroud said, via Wilson. “The best thing we've done is stay locked in with one another. You only focus on one thing at a time.”

Stroud looks to lead Houston to their third straight win in their next game against the New York Giants on Oct. 25.
