Now that’s how you respond.
The Houston Texans tied Sunday’s game at 7-7 thanks to a 10-yard run from wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The play marked the four-time Pro Bowler’s first rushing touchdown of his decade-long career.
Diggs motioned into the backfield opposite Cam Akers and received a handoff from quarterback C.J. Stroud. He ran to the right and appeared to be passing.
No one was open, so he decided to tuck-and-run from from six yards out.

Houston gained 70 yards on a 9-play drive to knock nearly six minutes off the clock. Stroud, who struggled last week in a road loss to Minnesota, went 3-for-3 with 49 yards, including two passes to NFL-leading receiver Nico Collins.
Houston averaged an impressive 7.8 yards per play and already matched its point output from a week against the Minnesota Vikings. Diggs’ touchdown increases his season total to three.
Yeah they can’t cover Nico Collins or Stefon Diggs

The Texans will receive the ball to begin the second half.
