C.J. Stroud might have caused a stir on social media Sunday night, but Cal McNair had the last laugh.
Following the Houston Texans‘ big road win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Cal and Hannah McNair waited near the team’s visiting tunnel to give congratulatory high-fives to the players coming off the field. Most players greeted the owner and CEO without hesitation.
Stroud, who gave high fives to fans before entering the locker room, did not dap up McNair, thus leading to the internet losing its mind while creating conspiracy theories on what the high-five-less gesture could mean for the future of the Texans’ quarterback.
Does Stroud hate the McNairs?
Will the Pro Bowler demand a trade this offseason?
Is the Texans quarterback at war with the man who signed off on him becoming the face of the franchise?
It was probably nothing more than a mistake, but that didn’t stop the Texans’ social media team from running with content leading into the weekend. On Wednesday, the team posted a hilarious 71-second video poking fun at the situation, with McNair acting as if he had yet to change or lower his hand since the plane ride home.
And McNair bought into the bit. Take a look at the clip below.
If Stroud really denied his boss, expect the two to hug it out first on Sunday when the Texans take on the Arizona Cardinals for a shot at a third consecutive winning season.
Kickoff is scheduled for Noon CT.
