The uptick in Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins' production coincided with several factors Sunday.
The Pro Bowl alternate was involved more heavily, targeted 11 times overall as he caught seven passes for a season-high 123 yards.
Hopkins got the football on time and in space from quarterback Brock Osweiler, who was pressed into the game in relief of injured starter Tom Savage.
And the Texans utilized a no-huddle offense, creating more tempo and keeping the Tennessee Titans' defense off-balance. That included a 51-yard catch-and-run by Hopkins.
It's a welcome development for the Texans as they prepare for Saturdays' AFC wild-card playoff game against the Oakland Raiders.
