Huntington Bank Field · grass · outdoor

Stroud threw 282 of the 285 pass attempts the Texans made in the 8 regular season games he played in 2026. He is listed at 6-3 and 218 pounds, taller than 62 percent of the 117 quarterbacks on a 2026 roster and lighter than 58 percent of them. He held the ball 2.83 seconds before throwing, quicker than 56 percent of the 32 passers the league's tracking data qualified in 2026. The 17 defenses on the Texans' 2026 schedule gave up 240.5 passing yards a game last season; the 17 they met gave up 240.5.

Sacks credited to their defenders. It is not always the same count as the sacks their opponents were charged with allowing.Pass attempts plus sacks taken, over those plus rushing attempts. A sack is a called pass that never became an attempt, so it counts on the pass side. Kneel-downs sit inside the rushing attempts and cannot be separated out.These are box score totals, not charted by alignment, so there is no split of what a defense gives up to slot receivers, to backs or to any other role. Nothing here claims one.

Record against the posted line, by market

Every market our archive priced him in at least eight times · the line is each book's opening number, median across the books quoting it · a market we priced fewer times is left off rather than shown with a sample too small to mean anything

Over rate excludes pushes and prints the decided count it is taken over. Whole-number markets (receptions, interceptions) push often, so overs divided by games would read several points off. The touchdown market posts no number at all, only a price, so it is graded as scored or not against the price implied by the books before their margin.
