Nico Collins just dropped his second touchdown of the game against the Dallas Cowboys, hitting paydirt on the first drive of the second half for Houston’s offense. It’s a massive play that screams “I’M BACK!” for a Texans team that truly felt his absence.
Collins Making His Presence Felt, Big Time
The Houston Texans were straight up missing wide receiver Nico Collins for the past two games. You could tell, right? But man, he’s back and making sure everyone knows it. This dude scored on the opening drive of the game, setting the tone early. Then, to kick off the second half, he does it again, giving the Texans a 23-13 lead. You don’t just “make your presence felt” like that, you dominate.
A Multi-TD Game and the Immediate Response
This isn’t just a fluke. This is Collins’ fourth game in his entire NFL career where he’s snagged multiple receiving touchdowns. The last time he pulled off a double-TD performance was in December 2025, when Houston crushed the Arizona Cardinals 40-20. That kind of consistent impact is exactly what the Texans were missing. His second score put them up by ten, 23-13, but the Cowboys were quick to answer, immediately hitting back with a touchdown of their own to close the gap to 23-20. This game is still tight, but Collins is proving to be the spark Houston needs.
