INDIANAPOLIS — Stefon Diggs caught two touchdown passes and Joe Mixon rushed for 159 yards and another score to help the Houston Texans close out a 29-27 victory at Indianapolis. It was the ninth straight road win in division play for Houston. The Colts extended the NFL's longest active opening day winless streak to 11 despite getting two TD passes of more than 50 yards from Anthony Richardson. But Richardson also missed two wide-open receivers on what could have been scoring plays.
