A viral video from the Houston Texans’ locker room following their win over the Buffalo Bills last night has people wondering about injured QB CJ Stroud and his attitude.

A video shared on social media by a user named Gavin McHugh showed a screenshot of a video of the Texans’ locker room postgame speeches. The shot shows Stroud looking slightly upset as the rest of the locker room is reveling in the win.

The person who shot the video mocks Stroud for how he looks for the majority of the clip.

Fans were quick to point out that the screenshot was taken out of context and that Stroud was very active and supportive of his teammates during the video.

But not everyone felt that way:

“The backup doing so good makes him look bad,” one user remarked.

“The word you’re looking for is sad! CJ sadly contemplating his new life as a professional burger flipper at McDonald’s. When he comes back & loses 2 straight, he knows it’s over. SAD,” wrote another.

“He’s played his last snap as a Texan.”

Stroud may have gone 3-5 as a starter prior to his injury, but Mills is undefeated as a starter. Mills is 3-0 as a starter and has been rallying the team to get back into playoff contention with wins over the Jaguars, Titans and now the Bills.

Stroud may not be at risk of losing his starting job, but the team may not need to rush him back anymore.
