C.J. Stroud responds to fans booing during Texans' demoralizing loss: 'People are entitled to their opinions'

The Baltimore Ravens demolished the Houston Texans 31-2 Wednesday and will be in the playoffs this year, led by Lamar Jackson. Craig Carton, Danny Parkins and Mark Schlereth say the AFC should be worried about the Ravens.

The Houston Texans lost 31-2 to the Baltimore Ravens Christmas Day, and fans at NRG Stadium made their feelings about the loss known. 

Texans fans booed as the Ravens won their third straight in a span of 11 days.

"Terrible on my behalf, probably one of my worst games of my whole career," Stroud said. "Just came out flat, didn’t have any energy. Didn’t lead the offense the way I should have."

When asked specifically about the crowd’s reaction, Stroud appeared to understand. 

"People are entitled to their opinions," he said. "They care about the game. Their emotions matter. I understand. It's not the first time, and it probably won't be the last. It's not something to internalize and point the finger at yourself, but it is something that you can use it to motivate you.
