Big play after big play was accomplished by Texans receivers
Even though it’s common knowledge to know the Texans have a very solid group of receivers — including arguably the best at this position — it doesn’t take away from the fact the Colts’ defense managed to slow them down in their previous three victories starting last season. So something had to change, right?
Well, it did on Thursday and it wasn’t great for the Colts. Unlike their previous matchups, the receiving duo of DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller IV were consistently winning their one-on-one battles — both inside and outside — and it resulted in one heck of a night for them.
As Hopkins lived in the Colts’ end zone via his two receiving touchdowns, Fuller was a common sight deep in the Indy secondary since he caught seven passes for 140 yards.
