Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has made himself quite comfortable at NRG Stadium over the years.

Hilton caught nine passes for 199 yards during a 24-21 victory on Dec. 9 at the home of the Texans. Afterward, Hilton called NRG his "second home."

The remarks from Hilton, who has 76 career receptions for 1,445 yards and nine touchdowns against the Texans heading into a Saturday playoff game at NRG Stadium, didn't sit well with veteran cornerback Johnathan Joseph.

"Nah, man, that's for clowns," Joseph said. "That's for TV. That's what they do. You put something in their face, anybody can say it."

In two games against the Texans this season, Hilton has totaled 13 receptions and 314 yards. And Hilton hasn't been shy about pointing out his individual dominance.

"Sounds good, it's easily said," Joseph said. "I could easily say that, too. We could call the division our division since I've been here, last five out of eight years. It's not our first rodeo, so we'll be ready."
