C.J. Stroud tosses 5 TD passes as Texans rout winless Chargers 44-22. LA finally scores a TD

C.J. Stroud had an impressive performance for the Houston Texans, throwing five touchdown passes, including two 63-yarders, in their 44-22 victory over the winless Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers ended a 37-drive touchdown drought with a 58-yard catch by Quentin Johnston, marking their first TD since October 11 against Denver.

Despite their efforts, the Chargers struggled to score, managing only 22 points in the game, which was the second-most they had scored in a game this season. The Texans, now 3-5, have won three of their last four games after starting the season 0-4. The Chargers, on the other hand, saw their quarterback, Justin Herbert, wear a protective glove on his left hand and was replaced by rookie DJ Uiagalelei, who threw his first career TD.

The game saw a boisterous crowd at SoFi Stadium, which had not seen a Chargers win since last December, with the team currently on an 11-game losing streak.
