It’s best not to make Nico Collins angry.
You won’t like him when he’s angry.
Well, you’ll him if you’re a Houston Texans fan.
Collins, who last week led the Texans with 117 receiving yards, pulverized three Chicago Bears defensive backs on his way to the end zone for a 28-yard touchdown at NRG Stadium.
The Texans broke a 3-3 tie thanks to the score.

Collins, one of the more mild-mannered players in the Texans’ locker room, started getting aggressive with Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson during the end of the first quarter and was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty. S
Stevenson, who last week won NFC Defensive Player of the Week, shoved his finger through the helmet into Collins’ face. The fourth-year pro then slapped him in the helmet, leading to the flag.
That was Stevenson’s first mistake. The second? Lining up against him on the next play.
C.J. Stroud wasted little time finding Collins across the middle of the field for a first down. After that, the 6-foot-4 receiver broke through tackles from Kevin Byard and Jaylon Johnson for the score.

Next time, let Collins keep his composure. He just signed a three-year, $72.5 million extension and plans to be the No. 1 target in Houston as the new version of Andre Johnson.
