AFC Notes: C.J. Stroud, Jaguars, Texans, Titans

Jaguars

  • Jaguars DL Adam Gotsis was fined $7,167 for a hit on a quarterback last week.

Texans

Texans QB C.J. Stroud set the rookie passing yards record with 470 yards to go along with five touchdowns in a comeback win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He is hoping that this is a launching pad for the team going forward.

โ€œI think itโ€™s something that can get us rolling,โ€ Stroud said after the game, via TexansWire.com. โ€œMomentum is everything in this league and in the game of football. Weโ€™ve got to ride this momentum and work really hard in practice this week. We werenโ€™t perfect out there, though. Weโ€™re never going to be perfect, but weโ€™ve got to clean up some things, got to run the ball a little better.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s a big-time win for us, and November and December is when you want to be playing your best ball,โ€ Stroud added. โ€œSo, now we just want to upscale, uptrend and trailblaze into the playoffs, and, hopefully, get a chance to win the division and everything like that. Weโ€™ve got a lot of work to put in, though.โ€

  • According to Adam Schefter, Stroud’s 147.8 passer rating is the highest single-game passer rating by a rookie quarterback in NFL history. He also became the youngest player with at least 450 passing yards in a game and the sixth player in NFL history to record at least 450 passing yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions.

Titans

  • Titans OT Chris Hubbard was fined $7,306 for unnecessary roughness, and LB Harold Landry was fined $16,391 for a hit on a quarterback and another $16,391 for a hit on a quarterback stemming from last week.
