"I need to see more from C.J. Stroud!" @RandyMoss calls for the Texans' QB to use his legs "in critical situations" 👀 h

What happened: Randy Moss is calling for C.J. Stroud to utilize his mobility to extend plays. The Hall of Fame receiver stated the Texans quarterback needs to use his legs during critical situations.

Why it matters: Houston's offense has struggled to find a rhythm during a winless start to the regular season. Stroud's pocket decision-making remains a focus after he delayed contract extension talks this offseason. Incorporating more quarterback runs could help jumpstart a stagnant unit.

By the numbers: The Texans are 0-4 and scoring 17.8 points per game while allowing 25.2. Houston enters its scheduled game against the Cincinnati Bengals as a with an 5.

What to watch: Stroud will look to spark the offense and secure Houston's first victory of the year.
