Nico Collins finished the day against the Chargers on Sunday with one of the most impressive touchdown receptions you’ll ever see. Even after watching this 10-15 times, I can’t believe he managed to capture this.
There are many elements that take this beyond the usual one-hander. Collins needed the defender to hang onto his back and brace his body to keep the fight around his opponent. He did this with one hand, then had the awareness to lower his leg – which added another level of difficulty.
It’s the type of catch you’ll see players try throughout the season, but no one will surely come close to pulling it off. Such was the day for the Texans, who marched with careless abandon to the Chargers. This touchdown takes the score to 31-9 and Jim Harbaugh’s team is in absolute hell.
The most important thing for Houston: Their defense is showing today. Combine that offense with that defense, and well – this could be one of the hottest teams in the league if they can keep up.
