Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Andre Johnson spent 12 seasons with the Houston Texans, becoming one of the greatest NFL receivers in league history. Johnson has racked up more than 13,000 receiving yards and 1,1012 receptions, the eighth-highest total in NFL history.

On Thursday Night Football, Johnson returned to NRG Stadium for the first time since signing with the Colts, and he mad a splash. Johnson entered the game with only seven catches and 51 catches was targeted by Matt Hasselbeck in the end zone, and he did not disappoint.

For Johnson, it was his first touchdown catch in a Colts uniform. The score put Indianapolis up 10-0 over Houston in the first quarter.

Johnson’s new team was picked overwhelmingly to win the AFC and reach the Super Bowl for the first time in the Andrew Luck era. However, things have not gotten off to a good start. The Colts began 0-2 and have since won twice, but the performances have been ugly. Indianapolis is now without quarterback Andrew Luck, who is dealing with a right shoulder injury.

Johnson never made the Super Bowl with Houston, a franchise that only twice has reached the postseason. The furthest Johnson has ever advanced is the AFC Divisional round, where he lost twice.
