HOUSTON -- Houston receiver Nico Collins was fined about $5,000 this week for throwing a football into the stands after a touchdown against the Titans.

Collins said it was "definitely worth it" because it was a little kid who caught the ball.

"The only thing that matters was making that kid happy," he said Thursday. "He ain't never going to forget that moment. So that's all that matters to me. It's cool. I'll pay the fine."

Collins grabbed a 5-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter of Houston's loss to Tennessee on Nov. 24 and threw the ball into the stands underhanded before leaping into the crowd.
