Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron joined some elite company by picking up yet another touchdown in the game against the Houston Texans.
Ebron has been one of the biggest playmakers in the Colts' offense this season, and quarterback Andrew Luck has made sure to keep him completely involved in the passing attack.
So, it should come as no surprise that Luck once again found Ebron in the end zone early on in the AFC Wild Card clash against the Texans, which allowed the Colts to rack up a huge lead.
It also helped him join New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski in a very important category.
Over the last 5 seasons, only two tight ends have caught 14+ receiving TD in a season, including playoffs:
• Rob Gronkowski (2014, 2015)
• Eric Ebron (2018)#Colts @colts @Ebron85— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) January 5, 2019
Ebron's efforts help the Colts advance past the Texans on Saturday, which sets up a showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Divisional Round next week.
It's going to take a big scoring effort to take down Patrick Mahomes and company at Arrowhead Stadium, but there's no doubt that the Colts have the type of offense that can give Kansas City plenty of trouble.
Indianapolis has been one of the hottest teams in the league after such a rough start, and Ebron will try to keep his string of big-time catches going against the Chiefs.
If the Colts can get off to a hot start, they should have the confidence needed to make things very interesting in Kansas City.
