Texans WR Nico Collins leads top PFF grades in win over Colts

The Houston Texans pulled off the playoff-clinching win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday in a 23-19 win.

A lot of players contributed to the win, from wideout Nico Collins to fullback Andrew Beck and running back Devin Singletary. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, too, had a signature game to wrap up a sensational rookie season.
