    During Week 2's edition of Sunday Night Football, C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans moved to 2-0 on the season with a 19-13 win over Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

    Stroud guided the Texans to the victory by completing 23-of-36 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown. Williams, who played in his second career NFL game, still does not have a professional touchdown, finishing with 174 yards and two interceptions.

    The Houston defense proved to be too much for the 2024 No. 1 pick with 11 quarterback hits and seven sacks. The dynamic pass-rushing duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter record 1.5 sacks each.

    After the game, the two young quarterbacks met for a handshake and Stroud had a lengthy message for the rookie. The video has nearly 100,000 views on social media at the time of this article and is rapidly growing.

    NFL fans loved the meeting between the two franchise players and took to social media to leave their comments.

    "CLASSY: Texans QB CJ Stroud gave Bears rookie Caleb Williams advice at midfield after his struggles to start his career," one fan said.

    "CJ Stroud Caleb Williams"

    "Love this scenes"

    "Two incredible talents! The future of football is in good hands. Can’t wait to see what’s next for C.J. Stroud and Caleb Williams"

    "Respect"

    "Yeah these guys have plenty of battles yet to come."

    In Week 1, Williams picked up his first NFL win with a 24-17 comeback over the Tennessee Titans. In that game, Williams completed less than 50% of his passes and only threw for 93 yards. With the loss to Houston, the Bears moved to 1-1 and will have a trip to Indianapolis in Week 3.

    Everyone keeps blaming the QB’s in Chicago., got years. One or two might be explainable, but this has been going on almost since “Da Bears” in the 80’s. How many QB’s do you ruin/waste before you figure out what the actual problem is?
