CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans lost more than just a game on Saturday.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 260 yards and a touchdown while running for a score, leading his team to a 27-19 victory over the Houston Texans on Saturday.

Stroud had 244 yards and two touchdown passes with two interceptions for Houston.

Unfortunately, one of his touchdown passes came at great expense. Tank Dell, who had six catches for 98 yards, likely had his season end after he hurt his left knee on the play and was carted from the field.

Dell was hurt on the Texans’ opening drive of the third quarter.

CJ Stroud was extremely affected as he could be seen praying and crying on the field.

The NBC broadcast showed the second-year quarterback being comforted by veteran running back Joe Mixon while trying to fight off tears.

After the game, Stroud was still emotional as he relayed to reporters, “It’s not easy just to let it go, especially since that’s my best friend,” Stroud said of Dell’s injury.

“It’s not easy to move on and just keep playing, but I tried to do as best as I could.”

C.J. Stroud was emotional when asked about Tank Dell’s injury:

“That’s my best friend … I was going through it.”

Dell has now been lost in back-to-back seasons due to leg injuries. Not to mention, he was also shot earlier this year.

Where Does CJ Stroud And The Texans Go After Loss of Tank Dell?

The Houston Texans are already headed to the playoffs, but the team has lost Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell in the receiver room.

So, where does that leave CJ Stroud in the passing game?

Yes, he does have Nico Collins, but now teams can pay extra attention to him without another scary player on the field.

There are some notable names out there, so the team has a chance to add someone before the playoffs.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.

Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:

“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.

I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
