Nico Collins ran 7 yards for the tiebreaking score early in the fourth quarter, Nick Chubb added another touchdown run, and Houston’s defense came up with a late stop to help the Texans preserve a 20-16 victory over the slumping Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Houston’s defense certainly has done its part during a four-game winning streak that has helped the two-time defending AFC South champs climb within one game the division’s co-leaders — Indy and Jacksonville at 8-4. On Sunday, they became the first team this season to hold the NFL’s highest-scoring offense under 20 points.
