INDIANAPOLIS — The Houston Texans invested heavily in the offseason in giving C.J. Stroud some additional scoring options.

It’s already paying big dividends.

Stefon Diggs caught two touchdown passes and Joe Mixon ran for 159 yards and another score in their Houston debuts to help the Texans close out a 29-27 victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.

“It’s everything for us,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said of his new tag-team tandem. “Those guys go out and make plays no matter what the situation is, like when you can count on those guys to make plays it’s huge for our team, not just our offense but what they did for an entire team, providing the energy they did for our team, it’s outstanding.
