7 winners from Houston Texans lopsided win over Chargers in Wild Card Round

Collins put the team on his back and finished with 122 yards on seven receptions.

Will Anderson Jr., DE

Heading into this game, Will Anderson Jr. was fired up. He said this team knew what needed to be done thanks to their experience from last year's playoff run. He then backed up his words.

Anderson and the rest of the defensive line made life tough on Justin Herbert with the second-year pass-rusher picking up 1.5 sacks.

Eric Murray, S

Eric Murray made the play that gave his team all of the momentum. Houston had a 13-6 lead late in the third quarter when Murray took an errant pass from Herbert back for a 38-yard pick-six.

Murray also led the team with seven tackles on the day, proving to be a valuable — yet underrated — player.

Derek Stingley Jr., CB

Another player who wasn't concerned with the underdog status was Derek Stingley Jr. He also made sure to do his part to ensure his team won.

Stingley recorded two interceptions, including one late in the fourth that allowed Houston to run out the clock.

Joe Mixon, RB

Los Angeles was slowing Joe Mixon down during the first half but he came to life in the second. Mixon finished with 106 yards on 25 attempts, shaking off an ugly fumble in the third quarter in the process.

He proved his worth as he helped them milk nearly seven minutes off the clock before scoring a 17-yard touchdown to seal the win in the fourth quarter.

Denico Autry, DT

Denico Autry was banged up during the week but the Texans were thrilled he was able to play. He was one of many defensive linemen who put pressure on Herbert all day and recorded a huge sack on a third down in the third quarter.

His most impactful play came in the fourth quarter though, when he blocked an extra point. That led to D'Angelo Ross running the batted ball back for a two-point conversion.

CJ Stroud, QB

CJ Stroud deserves a lot of credit for this win.

He threw a horrible interception in the first half as the offense struggled to find any life. That didn't shake his confidence and he finally turned things around late in the first half when he picked up a bad snap and found Xavier Hutchinson for a huge conversion on third-and-16.

That 34-yard gain opened the door for Houston to score 10 points in the final 58 seconds. Stroud kept dealing after this, finishing with 282 yards. He even used his legs, going for 42 yards on six rushing attempts.
