description

Jan. 11, 2025’s Wild Card Weekend featured many unfortunate plays for the Texans’ opponents, but if there’s one that stands out among the scariest, Nico Collins running an in-breaking route likely settles near the top. Upping his ante with the endzone just steps away, Collins put on a masterclass in exploiting a secondary, leaving Los Angeles’ single-high coverage in a confused haze through a flawlessly-executed slant route and 13-yard catch-and-run. Once upon a time No. 1 in receiving yards over the regular season’s first five weeks, Collins reaffirmed himself as an equally-dominant postseason force during a 32-12 rout of the Chargers. Furnishing Houston with a lead it wouldn’t again surrender, Collins concluded with 122 yards — with an eye-opening 104 of them arriving on in-breakers — alongside seven catches and a touchdown.
