Texans Rookie QB C.J. Stroud Mirrors Brett Favre with Unique NFL Debut

TL;DR Summary
Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud's first NFL completion was to himself when his pass was tipped in the air and he caught it. Although the Texans lost to the Ravens, Stroud had a decent performance, completing 28-of-44 passes for 242 yards and adding 20 rushing yards. This unusual play also occurred in the Atlanta Falcons' game with Desmond Ridder. If Stroud's career follows in the footsteps of Brett Favre, who also completed his first NFL pass to himself, the Texans will be pleased.
