"He’s just a winner," Stroud said of Mahomes. "At the end of the day, finds a way to get it done and makes some of those critical situations happen. He’s somebody who really, really, really knows how to get it done.”

This is the first time the two quarterbacks have faced off against one another, but Stroud is ready to get things going as he leads his team into Arrowhead Stadium.

“Yeah, we’re preparing for it," Stroud said. "Definitely, I’ve heard a lot of great things. It’s an exciting place to play and loud, so got to be ready for all that and doing our preparations for that throughout the week.”

Kickoff between the Texans and Chiefs is set for Saturday at 12 noon CT. The game can be watched on NBC or streamed on Peacock.
