HOUSTON (AP) — Houston coach DeMeco Ryans had high praise for C.J. Stroud after his performance in Sunday's win over San Francisco.

“One of his best games ever,” Ryans said.

Stroud threw for a season-high 318 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Texans to the 26-15 victory . He bounced back after struggling to move the offense in a loss to Seattle last Monday night.

“When C.J. is locked in (and) C.J. plays well and he’s upbeat and everybody can see he’s going to the right spot with the football, he’s making great decisions, stepping up, escaping the pocket, converting some runs there, converting some third downs, you just see the entire energy, the vibe of our entire sideline just changes,” Ryans said. “Everybody is looking to the quarterback for that leadership.”
