Tank Dell Is Back and Nico Collins Did What? John Harris' Ultimate 11 From the Texans' Win in L.A. | Texans Matchup

The Texans rolled through Los Angeles, and John Harris has more great plays than one countdown can hold. On this edition of Texans Matchup, Harris runs two Ultimate 11 lists from the win over the Chargers at SoFi Stadium before the Texans head to Cleveland.

The offensive countdown belongs to QB C.J. Stroud and five touchdown passes. WR Xavier Hutchinson opened the scoring with a 17-yard strike and added a one-handed third-down grab. WR Kayshon Boutte scored his first two touchdowns as a Texan, the first on a two-minute drive to close the half, and TE Dalton Schultz kept drives alive all afternoon. Harris argues WR Nico Collins made the greatest catch in Texans history with a one-handed touchdown at the pylon. The top spot goes to WR Tank Dell's 63-yard touchdown on an out-and-up, his first score since December 2024, on a day he topped 100 receiving yards.

On defense, the Texans sacked Justin Herbert eight times to tie a team record. DE Will Anderson Jr., DE Jadeveon Clowney and DT Sheldon Rankins had two sacks each, and DT Logan Hall and DT Naquan Jones also made the list. CB Derek Stingley Jr. picked off his first pass of the year, the 16th of his career, and LB Henry To'oTo'o forced a fumble that S Calen Bullock recovered. K Ka'imi Fairbairn added a 56-yard field goal, his 58th career make from 50 yards or longer. No. 1 is S Jalen Pitre's open-field hit on Tre' Harris, the play Harris believes signaled the return of this defense.

Harris closes with the last Texans-Browns meeting, the 2023 Wild Card game, when a rookie Stroud threw three first-half touchdowns and Steven Nelson and Christian Harris each returned interceptions for scores.
