Texans WR Nico Collins back to Pro Bowl form with TD vs. Titans

Nico Collins is back for the Houston Texans, so stay out of his way Tennessee Titans everywhere.

Nico Collins is back like he never left.

The Houston Texans probably wished he was healthy for those five games since at least one would have ended in victory.

Despite trailing 17-10 against the Tennessee Titans, the Texans’ offense found a spark with Collins’ 5-yard touchdown reception from C.J. Stroud in the second quarter. On a third-and-five, Stroud waited for the 6-foot-4 target to break open before connecting him at the back of the end zone.

As the pride of Houston’s offense, Collins was greeted with sheer delight as he hopped into the stands to celebrate with the H-Town crowd. Meanwhile, the Texans continue to drive on offense after forcing a Tennessee turnover.

The touchdown marked Collins’ first score since his 67-yarder against the Bills on Oct. 6. That was also the last play of the campaign before spending on the injured reserve with a hamstring problem.

Collins was on pace for a breakout All-Pro season before the injury. Let’s see if he can get back to that form in the closing months of the NFL regular season.
