Nico Collins caught a touchdown on Sunday, and for the second straight season he notched 1,000 yards.

The wide receiver came into Sunday's Week 18 rumble with the Titans needing only 32 yards to reach the milestone. He got there when he pulled in a 2-yard pass from C.J. Stroud for a score in the first quarter at Tennessee.

It capped the opening possession of the game for Houston, and Collins pulled in four passes for 32 yards on the drive. Ka'imi Fairbairn tacked on the extra point, and Houston was up, 7-0, with 7:43 remaining in the opening quarter.

Stroud, meanwhile, completed all six passes for 50 yards on the scoring drive. The possession lasted 7:17, and went 69 yards on 11 plays.

In four separate games this year, Collins finished with 100 yards or more. He missed five games in October and November with a hamstring injury. Coming into Sunday's matchup at Tennessee, Collins had six touchdown receptions.

Last year in 15 games, Collins caught 80 passes for 1,297 yards and eight touchdowns.
