Texans wide receiver Nico Collins set franchise receiving yardage record against Chargers, but needs someone in receiving corps to complement him against Chiefs.

Woods caught two of four targets for 22 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in Houston's 32-12 win over the Chargers in wild-card round last Saturday.

The Houston Texans lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 23–14 on Saturday, ending their 2024-25 season in the divisional round of the playoffs.

And Collins surpassed former Texans Pro Bowl wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ franchise playoff receiving yardage record in the process, catching seven passes for 122 yards and one score on eight targets. Hopkins had 118 yards in a 2019 divisional round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
