Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had light work in the second half of Saturday’s wild-card game against the Cleveland Browns.
He only had to throw two passes before he was replaced by Davis Mills because the game was already over.
Mills came in with just under 10 minutes to go in the fourth quarter with the Texans up by 31 (45-14).
The #Texans are pulling CJ Stroud with a 45-14 lead. Davis Mills is in.

Stroud will finish the game by completing over 76-percent of his passes for 274 yards, three touchdowns, and no interceptions.
He now has 26 touchdown passes to only five interceptions this season and is showing why he should potentially win the Offensive Rookie of the Year award.
The Texans will also advance to the AFC Divisional round next weekend and will find out who their opponent is on Sunday or Monday.
The next NFL playoff game will get underway at 8:10 p.m. ET and it’ll be between the Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins.
