Texans tight end Darren Fells sets franchise record

Texans tight end Darren Fells has surpassed the franchise record for touchdowns in a single season with seven scores.

The veteran tight end arrived in Houston in the spring via a one-year, $1.5 million contract and emerged as a starter.

At 6-7, 270 pounds, Fells is a big red-zone target who's tied for the NFL lead with the Ravens' Mark Andrews for the most touchdowns by a tight end.

Fells passed Owen Daniels and Joel Dreessen for the most touchdowns by a tight end in a single season in Texans franchise history.

Fells is the only player in the league with at least seven touchdowns on less than 50 targets.
