Summary

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz recorded 12 receptions for 140 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals during a 20-6 loss on September 20, 2026. The absence of leading receiver Nico Collins and a struggling run game forced Schultz to become a central figure in the passing attack. Coach DeMeco Ryans praised Schultz's playmaking ability and leadership, stressing the need for more offensive options as the Texans prepare to face the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. The team aims to address their running game after a lackluster performance against Cincinnati.
