INDIANAPOLIS — The Houston Texans invested heavily in the offseason in giving C.J. Stefon Diggs caught two touchdown passes and Joe Mixon ran for 159 yards and another score in their Houston debuts to help the Texans close out a 29-27 victory against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. “We’ve got to find ways at the end, offensively and defensively, to make the plays in critical situations.” But Mixon, Diggs, Stroud and Nico Collins simply wouldn’t allow it. Collins had his third consecutive big game against the Colts, catching six passes for 117 yards including a 55-yarder that set up Diggs’ first score and Ka’imi Fairbairn made three field goals from 50 or more yards. Diggs’ first score made it 12-7 and when Fairbairn started the second half with another field goal, the Texans’ lead expanded to 15-7.
