After a record-setting performance on Sunday, one would have to assume Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is among the top passers in 2026, right?
Congrats on being correct once more.
Stroud, a native of Los Angeles, improved his QBR rating to 73.2 in the Texans' win over the Los Angeles Chargers. In Sunday's 44-22 victory, Stroud posted a 89.7 raiting while throwing for a season-high 384 yards and five touchdowns.
For the Total QBR metric, ESPN “incorporates all of a quarterback’s contributions to winning, including how he impacts the game on passes, rushes, turnovers and penalties." And unlike a passer rating, a QBR could be higher even in a loss, given the amount of accurate throws and winning plays bode well in one's favor.
So, where does
Stroud stack up among passers in QBR? Here’s a look at all 32 starters' ratings going into Week 10.
