On the Texans’ third drive of the game, quarterback C.J. Stroud hit wide receiver Nico Collins with a deep shot. It was the longest pass play of the season for the Texans.

Collins got behind the Bills’ defense as Stroud launched a pass that traveled 59 yards in the air, and the NFL leader in receiving yards walked into the end zone to cap a hot start in Houston.

Collins was hurt on the play and went to the locker room, and his return was questionable.

Cam Akers scored on a 15-yard rush to make it 7-3 on the previous drive.
