C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans moved to 2-0 on the 2024 NFL season after a 19-13 Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday Night Football.
Stroud finished the game completing 23-of-36 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown. Bears quarterback and 2024 No. 1 pick Caleb Williams had a less-than-stellar performance, tallying 174 passing yards, zero touchdowns and two interceptions.
NBC had Stroud mic'd up throughout the entire game, and on Wednesday, the NFL released the full footage. One specific part of the video went viral with over 150,000 views on X. In the clip, Stroud is seen talking to Bears All-Pro cornerback Jaylon Johnson, giving the defender some advice.
"Stop telling your secrets on Richard Sherman podcast, dude," Stroud said. "The palms look. You ain't slick brother.
You ain't getting me. You ain't getting me." "Stop telling your secrets on @RSherman_25 's podcast dude" 😂 See why @NBAxJay1 's interview made @CJ7STROUD 's film study: https://t.

In the episode, Johnson broke down a palms coverage play from 2023, where he wound up with an interception. Johnson, despite only finishing with one pass deflection in the box score, did his part in the loss to Houston by helping hold All-Pro wide receiver Stefon Diggs to just four catches for 37 yards. Nico Collins, on the other hand, had a very strong outing with eight catches for 135 yards and a touchdown.

The Texans will travel to Minnesota in Week 3 to face the Vikings, while the Bears head to Indianapolis to battle the Colts.
