Houston Texans rookie quarterback CJ Stroud stood his ground during a scuffle with Denver Broncos linebacker Alex Singleton in Sunday's game. The incident occurred in the first quarter when Singleton got in Stroud's face after a play was called dead. The two players began pushing and shoving each other, resulting in Singleton being penalized for unnecessary roughness.
Stroud, who did not back down from the confrontation, expressed his determination to defend himself. He said: “I'm a man and I'm not going to let someone push me, especially in my own home. You're not going to just touch me after the whistle. Despite the altercation, Stroud admitted he respects Singleton's competitiveness and holds no hard feelings towards him .
The quarterback also acknowledged that you need to keep your composure in these situations. He said: “I feel like I've been doing it all year. Over and over again, I keep getting hit, getting my face mask pulled, all kinds of things. I'm not crazy. I guess I've got to earn it because I'm a rookie or whatever. I don't get a lot of calls and I have to do business and understand that it's a 60-minute fight with me.”
Singleton, on the other hand, believes the penalty was inevitable regardless of whether he was pushed by Texans lineman Shaq Mason. He said, “You know what this league is like.”
The Texans eventually won the game 22-17, with Stroud completing 20 of 32 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown. Despite the fight on the field, Stroud and Singleton shook hands after the game, putting the incident behind them.
