INDIANAPOLIS -- When the Texans drafted former Texas Tech standout wide receiver Keke Coutee in the fourth round, they envisioned him making an immediate impact in the slot.

Following a two-month delay due to a lingering strained hamstring, Coutee delivered on the Texans' investment Sunday.

Coutee set an NFL record for the most receptions by a player in his regular-season debut since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, catching 11 passes for 109 yards on 15 targets.
