Question

The game tonight features the two teams that have called Houston home (the Tennessee Titans formerly did business as the Houston Oilers). Who are the four players who have caught at least 100 passes when playing for teams based in this city?

Answer

For the Houston Texans, both Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins. For the Houston Oilers, Haywood Jeffires caught 100 passes in 1991. Way back in the AFL days, Charley Hennigan was the second player to reach this benchmark, with 101 catches in 14 games in 1964. (Lionel Taylor of Denver was the first to catch 100 passes in a season, in 1961). If you want to dip into USFL numbers, the Houston Gamblers in 1984 had a pair of 100-catch receivers – Richard Johnson and Ricky Sanders.
