The Houston Texans took a 7-3 lead over the Indianapolis Colts after quarterback C.J. Stroud connected with Nico Collins for a 75-yard touchdown on their first play from scrimmage. This marked the first time this NFL season a team scored on their first play. The Colts had previously settled for a field goal following an 11-play drive. Despite missing three top wideouts, the Texans capitalized on Stroud's protection in the pocket and Collins' reception.
