Amendola caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Jets.
Amendola finished fourth among Houston's wideouts with 22 snaps but had an equal number of targets as Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins, the Texans' top two receivers. One week after Amendola appeared to be headed for a reduced role, the 36-year-old was a key figure. Of course, that might not mean much in Houston's low-wattage passing attack, and Amendola's lone touchdown catch came back in Week 1.
