O.J. Howard immersed himself in the Texans’ playbook, a crash course that involved a lot of studying.
The veteran tight end, signed to a one-year, $1.035 million contract after being cut by the Buffalo Bills at the end of the preseason, proved to be a fast learner
During a 20-20 tie against the Indianapolis Colts, Howard scored both of the Texans’ touchdowns as he caught a pair of scoring passes from quarterback Davis Mills. They built a quick connection and chemistry as he scored on 16-yard and 22-yard passes on his only two targets of the game. That represented the Texans’ only touchdowns against the Colts.
“It was a good opportunity,” Howard said. “We kind of knew what they were going to run coverage-wise in the red zone. We knew we would be able to get them at the seams based on their game plan. It was a great play call and Davis found me open.
