“I've got to practice better and play better," Stroud said. "It's no secret. I haven't been playing well personally, for my standard. I have a couple good drives and plays here, but it's up and down. For me, I feel like it starts with practice and comes to the game staying focused. I've been focused. I watch as much film as anybody. Sometimes it just doesn't go your way. I've got to be hard on myself and realize that games can come down to me making plays. I didn't make enough, and I gave up the ball twice today. I've got to just be better, and I know that. But I'm not going to hold my head down. I'm going to keep my chin up, chest high. I'm still a great player, but I've got to put better stuff on the field.”

Stroud will look to improve this week as the Texans take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 13.
