CJ Stroud connects for first career touchdown pass vs. Colts
CJ Stroud threw his first NFL touchdown Sunday afternoon against the Indianapolis Colts.
The Ohio State rookie hit receiver Nico Collins for an 8-yard touchdown pass. He waited for Collins to get open in a collapsing pocket but stood strong and threw it only where Collins could get up and nab it.

Stroud’s Week 1 was rough, but that’s kind of expected for a first-year NFL quarterback playing one of the better teams in the AFC. He’s bounced back well against the Texans’ division rival and so far has completed 5 of his 8 passes for 58 yards and a touchdown.
Last week Stroud completed 28 of his 44 passing attempts for 242 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions.
Let’s see what the rookie can do moving forward.
