Texans wide receiver Nico Collins leads the NFL with 252 receiving yards, the only player in the league with two 100-yard games. Collins, who had a career-high 1,297 yards last season, formed a unique bond with Stroud since the Texans drafted the quarterback second overall last year out of Ohio State.

The Houston Texans defense will see an unlikely opponent in Sam Darnold when they face the Minnesota Vikings. Darnold is stepping in as the starter after No. 10 overall pick J.J. McCarthy suffered a season-ending knee injury back in training camp.

If Sam Darnold lead the Vikings to a deep playoff run, Minnesota could regret letting him walk in favor of hitching itself to J.J. McCarthy.

Through the first half, Darnold has recorded an impressive stat line, throwing 13-14 for 151 yards and a touchdown. He's out there throwing darts on Sunday, looking like the highly touted prospect he was back in 2018 when he entered the league.

Former USC Trojan standout Sam Darnold has been on fire to start the 2024 NFL season. In a highly contested matchup against the San Francisco 49ers Darnold connected on a historic throw.

In Week 2 of the 2024 season, Sam Darnold and the Minnesota Vikings will meet the San Francisco 49ers at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday. If you're looking for Darnold's stats, here's everything you need to know. Darnold is currently not listed as injured.

It might not look good now, but there is hope for a successful future. This is what the three rookie quarterbacks drafted in the first round — Chicago’s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Jayden Daniels and Denver’s Bo Nix — need to understand as they go through their predictable struggles.
