Bill Belichick didn’t need more than a week of the 2024 NFL season to identify and declare the best pass by a quarterback. The accolade goes to C.J. Stroud, whose game-winning throw in Week 1 helped the Texans secure a victory over the Colts.
In a recent episode of Inside the NFL, Belichick praised Stroud’s final pass of the game against the Colts as the best throw of the year, referring to the entire 2024 season. While he acknowledged that more great throws might come throughout the year, he confidently placed Stroud’s pass at the top, regardless of what else might be thrown.
The pass in question, which Bill Belichick referred to, was thrown by C.J. Stroud during the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. With the Houston Texans leading 29-27 on a 3rd-and-11, Stroud delivered a risky throw along the sideline that was perfectly placed into the hands of Nico Collins.
