Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a disastrous day in New England, with four first-half interceptions in a 28-16 loss. But he wasn\u2019t the first quarterback to have that stat line through two quarters of a postseason game.<\/p>\n
In 2022, Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence had four interceptions in the first half of a wild-card game against the Chargers. The Jaguars came back to win the game.<\/p>\n
Stroud and Lawrence are the only two quarterbacks with four first-half interceptions in a playoff game since 2000.<\/p>\n
Lawrence was the first to throw four interceptions in the first half of a postseason game since Lions quarterback Gary Danielson in the 1982 playoffs against Washington.<\/p>\n
Others have had rough days in the postseason. In the 2015 postseason, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer had four interceptions and two lost fumbles in a playoff loss to the Panthers. In the 2011 playoffs, Packers quarterback Brett Favre threw six interceptions in a blowout loss to the Rams.<\/p>\n
And in Super Bowl XIII, Broncos quarterback Craig Morton had four first-half interceptions against the Cowboys.<\/p>\n
For Stroud, who had three turnovers in a wild-card win over the Steelers, his most recent two games put a cloud over the Texans\u2019 offseason. He\u2019ll have plenty of pressure on him in 2026, unless the Texans sign him to an extension in the offseason.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Texans quarterback C.J.
