Watch: Texans WR Nico Collins continues dominant season with TD vs. Bills

Give Nico Collins the Offensive Player of the Year Trophy now.

He’s walking away with some hardware in 2024.

The Houston Texans took a 14-3 lead over the Buffalo Bills thanks to a 67-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud to Collins on a vertical pass on first down. Collins blew past a pair of defenders to go untouched with 1:34 remaining in the first quarter.

Stroud is in his element as the Texans debut their new H-Town Blue jerseys. After connecting with Collins for a pickup of 12 yards on third down, Cam Akers pushed his way across the pylon for a 15-yard touchdown.

Following a three-and-out, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik chose to attack. Collins won the route and secured his third touchdown of the season.

Entering the second quarter, Collins has two catches for 67 yards. With his receptions, the fourth-year receiver extends his league-leading total to 567 yards.

Stroud finished the first quarter 5-of-5 for 109 yards and a touchdown. Houston will receive the ball to begin the second half.
