During the first half of the Houston Texans divisional round game, they got a huge spark from WR Steven Sims,
Sims returned a punt for a 67-yard touchdown during the 2nd quarter of their divisional-round matchup with the Baltimore Ravens.
Not only was this a big play for the Texans, but it had significance for the entire NFL. Sims' punt return touchdown was the first post-season punt return touchdown in over a decade. NFL insider for CBS Jonathan Jones shared that the last time this happened was in January of 2013 by Trindon Holliday, which was also, ironically, against the Baltimore Ravens.
After calling Sims up to the active roster for their wildcard win last week, the Texans signed him to the active roster ahead of their divisional-round game. And I'd say he thanked them in a big way with a huge play that he will likely remember for the rest of his life.
