Texans' Jaelen Strong hopes to continue mastery of Colts

During his two NFL seasons, Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong has dealt with injuries and inactivity.

The former third-round draft pick hasn't had those problems against the Indianapolis Colts, though, thriving against the Texans' AFC South rival.

As a rookie, Strong caught two touchdown passes against the Colts at NRG Stadium for the first scores of his career in October of last year. He then had a key touchdown catch on a bootleg pass from quarterback Brandon Weeden in a pivotal December win that propelled the Texans to a division title.

Earlier this season against the Colts, Strong's 36-yard reception set up a game-winning field goal by Nick Novak in overtime.
