C.J. Stroud might be a mere rookie, but the QB who's led back-to-back Texans wins is showing hints of greatness that put J.J. Watt in the team's Ring of Honor.
Athletes and coaches often talk about winning for the fans. Some of them actually mean it.

Sunday was a day to celebrate one such player, a former Texans star who is perhaps the most beloved figure in Houston sports history.
