HOUSTON – Stefon Diggs has done it all as a wide receiver.
The four-time Pro Bowl selection entered Sunday’s game with a pair of touchdown catches in the opening game of the defending AFC South champion Texans’ season, and 33 career touchdown catches.

What the Texans’ veteran wideout hadn’t accomplished before Sunday was a touchdown run.
Diggs notched his first career touchdown run on a bit of a trick play.
Diggs took a handoff from Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud and ran to his right. He apparently had the option to throw the football and looked like he might throw it to Stroud. Instead, he kept it and cut back as he followed a block from rookie tight end Cade Stover to get into the end zone.
