It was the kind of play that reinforces the confident foundation that Collins, a Pro Bowl wide receiver, and Stroud, a former NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, have already built together with timing, chemistry, friendship and trust during their first three years collaborating together.
During that span, the Texans have manufactured three consecutive winning seasons and playoff appearances with three playoff victories. Their connection, interrupted a few times by respective injuries, has piled up a…
