Texans' Jaelen Strong comes up clutch in overtime win

For the third time in his young career, Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong haunted the Indianapolis Colts.

Strong delivered a clutch play during a 26-23 overtime victory Sunday night, a comeback that boosted the defending champion Texans' lead in the AFC South division.

Strong caught a 36-yard pass from quarterback Brock Osweiler up the left sideline behind Colts cornerback Rashaan Melvin down to the Colts' 12-yard line that set up a game-winning field goal by kicker Nick Novak.

Was Strong the first option on the play?

"I'm not sure, but Brock trusted me," Strong said.
