Cover 32: C.J. Stroud has flipped the script, is set to cash in; plus game balls, biggest gaffes from Week 6

C.J. Stroud has rebounded strongly during the current NFL season after facing heavy skepticism following a poor playoff stretch.

Despite Houston holding a two-win and four-loss record, the quarterback delivered a stellar performance in Week 6 across the Atlantic, defeating Jacksonville by throwing for 312 yards and three touchdowns while completing 24 of 34 attempts.

Advanced metrics highlight Stroud's improvements through six weeks, showcasing career-best figures in passer rating, success rate, and expected points added per dropback. Furthermore, his turnover-worthy throw rate has dropped significantly to 0.9 percent, positioning him strongly for a potential record-setting contract extension.
