Watch: Texans WR Stefon Diggs scores first career rushing TD

Now that’s how you respond.

The Houston Texans tied Sunday’s game at 7-7 thanks to a 10-yard run from wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The play marked the four-time Pro Bowler’s first rushing touchdown of his decade-long career.

Diggs motioned into the backfield opposite Cam Akers and received a handoff from quarterback C.J. Stroud. He ran to the right and appeared to be passing.

No one was open, so he decided to tuck-and-run from from six yards out.

Houston gained 70 yards on a 9-play drive to knock nearly six minutes off the clock. Stroud, who struggled last week in a road loss to Minnesota, went 3-for-3 with 49 yards, including two passes to NFL-leading receiver Nico Collins.

Houston averaged an impressive 7.8 yards per play and already matched its point output from a week against the Minnesota Vikings. Diggs’ touchdown increases his season total to three.

The Texans will receive the ball to begin the second half.
