WR Nico Collins reaches 1,000-yard milestone in win over Cardinals
The Houston Texans cap off a 40-20 outing over the Arizona Cardinals with a 4-yard touchdown pass to Nico Collins. With the score, Houston has taken a three-possession lead entering the closing minutes of the fourth quarter. Here's a look at the score, courtesy of Texans ' X account:
The Cardinals had kept it close in their previous two games before a 45-17 blowout loss to the Rams last week. Meanwhile, Houston boasts one of the best defenses in the league and is coming off a 10-point win over the Chiefs. I’ll take the Texans at -9.5 in what should be an easy home win for Houston.
The NFL’s Football Operations portal revealed that Collins received a $14,491 fine for “unsportsmanlike conduct.” It was over what the league deemed a “violent gesture” following a reception for a first down in the fourth quarter. Collins did what used to be his signature celebration: finger guns.
With just a few weeks left in the NFL’s regular season, the Houston Texans are figuring things out with their offensive playmakers.
The Texans won their sixth consecutive game, beating up on the Cardinals 40-20 on Sunday afternoon. Houston improved to 9-5, while Arizona fell to 3-11. Houston dominated from start to finish, taking a 10-0 lead before the Arizona offense ever took the field.
