Stroud broke the NFL record for most pass attempts without an interception to start a career on Sunday during the third quarter against the host Atlanta Falcons.
The rookie out of Ohio State, with his 177th passing attempt, surpassed Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott's record of 176 in 2016.
Stroud had completed 18 of his 33 pass attempts without a pick late in the fourth quarter on Sunday.
Stroud entered the game 94-for-151 passing for 1,212 yards, six touchdowns and a 62.3 completion percentage. Only Cam Newton (1,386 yards in 2011 with the Carolina Panthers) has more yards than Stroud through the air in his first four games as a first-year player.
The No. 2 overall draft pick this year, Stroud, 22, set a league mark by throwing for at least 900 passing yards, four TDs and no picks in his first three career starts, according to ESPN research.
