Even against a difficult task in surviving the loss of the NFL’s then-leader in receiving yards, the Texans, amidst a fray of mixed jerseys downfield, didn’t find trouble locating a player most likely to elevate. In need of a statement play with Houston facing a 2nd & 19, and Indianapolis hot on its heels both literally and figuratively, John Metchie III — following the direction of his Pro Bowl quarterback’s point-and-guide, captures an off-platform 28-yard snag. Providing a play that ultimately helped the Texans separate into a two-score lead and 23-20 win, Metchie tallied a three-catch, 29-yard effort on Oct. 27, 2024, strengthening H-Town’s grip in the AFC South’s standings.
