C.J. Stroud and the rest of Houston’s rookies started a group chat soon after the draft to discuss their goals. “And we were like, ‘Man, we’re going to be the foundation that changes this thing around,’ and lo and behold, that’s ... what came to be true,” Stroud said. Stroud, the second overall pick, is the only rookie starting quarterback to make the playoffs this season, and the 22-year-old will face off against the oldest QB in the postseason in Cleveland’s Joe Flacco, who turns 39 three days after the game.
