C.J. Stroud and the Houston Texans may not have had the best weekend after blowing a 16-point lead to the Detroit Lions at home on Sunday, but the 23-year-old quarterback did get some good news on Tuesday. He has been named the NFL’s top jersey-seller through October.

The Bears are now fourth in the NFC North with a record of 4-5 and fired their offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday after a three-game losing streak.
