It did not matter that they had seven years of seeing it, six days planning for it and a fresh chance to find some way to contain it, the Texans could not end T.Y. Hilton's haunting of Houston in Sunday's 24-20 Colts victory.
Hilton turned NRG Stadium into his tinderbox without needing to score. He torched defenders and unzipped the coverage for 199 yards on nine receptions, including a 60-yard bomb, to set up Eric Ebron's go-ahead and Zach Pascal's put-away touchdowns.
Colts quarterback Andrew Luck shouldered the burden of leading a close contest, but Hilton opened up passing possibilities – while he dealt with a shoulder injury.
