There&#8217;s also the classic clich\u00e9 of <a class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-inherit MuiLink-root MuiLink-underlineAlways MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__ui__link__medium_strong css-lu48cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elle.com.au\/culture\/news\/breakup-haircut-you-should-24510\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">getting a new hairstyle<\/a> after a bad breakup. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">So when Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud unveiled a new hairstyle on Tuesday, it was hard not to immediately remember that he&#8217;s only a few weeks removed from a four-interception, season-ending performance against the New England Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round. <\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Anyway, here&#8217;s his new look:<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">Stroud was a revelation in his rookie season, throwing for 4,108 yards, 23 touchdowns and five interceptions across 15 games in his rookie season. But in the two years that have followed he&#8217;s thrown for 39 touchdowns and 20 interceptions and hasn&#8217;t hit the 4,000-yard mark again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MuiTypography-root MuiTypography-bp_small__body__article__medium css-1vqr2el\">His regression has been a surprise, capped off by a performance to forget against the Pats. Stroud is only 24 and has plenty of time to turn things around, of course\u2014perhaps a new haircut is the start of that transformation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is a trope in fiction that when a character cuts off their hair, it symbolizes a major&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":448081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-448080","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=448080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/448080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/448081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=448080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=448080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=448080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
