Welcome to the end zone, Stefon Diggs.
Houston Texans fans should be used to seeing No. 1 punch it in for six points.
Quarterback C.J. Stroud made it a point to find the new wideout in his debut, connecting with the former All-Pro for a 9-yard score in the second quarter against the Indianapolis Colts at Lucas Oil Stadium.
Diggs is the current receiving leader with three catches for 21 yards.
THE FIRST OF MANY 🔥

Diggs made history earlier in the game by becoming the eighth active player to surpass 10,000 receiving yards in a career.
Houston acquired the 30-year-old in a trade with the Bills, sending a 2025 second-round pick in exchange. Diggs formed one of the league’s top receiving trios alongside Tank Dell and Nico Collins.
Diggs posted his sixth consecutive 1,000 yard and fourth straight 100-plus reception season. However, he faded out of the Bills rotation, failing to pass 100 yards in the last 13 games, including the postseason.
The trade to Houston has been a positive one thus far with Diggs being named a team captain earlier in the week.
