Video of the scene shows Stroud soaking it all in as he heads toward the Acrisure Stadium tunnel, clearly enjoying the hostile environment after carving up the Steelers on their own turf.
Fans were hot ... but Stroud kept cool, flashing a smile.
After all, there was a lot to be happy about. He notched his third playoff win in as many seasons ... as the Texans scored 23 points unanswered points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory in what could be Aaron Rodgers' final game in the NFL.
The moment instantly lit up social media, with Texans fans loving the swagger and Steelers fans, well ... proving his point in the replies.
To be fair, Stroud earned the right to talk. The third-year star played a solid game, throwing for 250 yards and a touchdown to silence a raucous crowd -- and punching Houston’s ticket to the next round, where they'll face the New England Patriots.
As for Steelers fans, they'll have to wait until next season to get even a taste of revenge.
