As he walked into NRG Stadium to face the Houston Texans in the AFC Wild Card game on Saturday, Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was rocking a huge clown mask.

Wait, what? And why?

Leading up to the game, Texans cornerback Jonathan Joseph called Hilton “a clown.”

Joseph’s comment was a response to Hilton, who, after his nine-catch, 199-yard performance against Houston in Week 14, called NRG Stadium his “second home.” Hilton has roasted the Texans and put up huge numbers when he’s played the Colts’ division rival in Houston.

Naturally, the Pro Bowl wide receiver took the jab in stride and rolled with it as he walked into the visitor’s locker room on Saturday.

Of course, Hilton and the Colts got the last laugh, going into Houston and pulling out a 21-7 win.

So now, with a social media jab and a playoff victory in hand, Colts fans now have a clown T-shirt to add to their playoff repertoire.
