HOUSTON – Going into the final weekend of the season, defensive end Jerry Hughes will return to the city where it all began when the Houston Texans visit the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts selected Hughes in the first round of the 2010 draft out of TCU, and in the veteran's 13th season, his first with the Texans, he's playing as if he jumped out of the fountain of youth.

The 34-year-old has nine sacks and has the 16th-highest pass rush win rate in the NFL (19%). Those numbers are why Hughes was voted as a Pro Bowl alternate.
