The Houston Texans aren’t just on the board. They now have the lead heading into halftime.
The Texans are up 7-6 over the Los Angeles Chargers in the wild-card round following a Nico Collins 13-yard touchdown pass from C.J. Stroud with just under a minute remaining in the first quarter.

Houston got lucky after a snap went sideways. Deep in their territory, the Texans fumbled as Stroud tried to make something out of nothing. He uncorked one downfield to Xavier Hutchinson for a 34-yard pickup.
Two plays later, Collins picked up 39 yards and put Houston in the red zone.
Houston (10-7) will begin the second half on offense. With a win, the Texans would move to 6-2 all-time on wild-card weekend.
