In 2021, the Houston Texans offense was one of the worst in football. Both running and throwing the ball was ineffective for most of the year. 31-year-old Rex Burkhead led the Texans in rushing with 427 yards. The second leading rusher for the Texans was 32-year-old Mark Ingram with 294 yards. Ingram was traded from the Houston Texans to the New Orleans Saints near the trade deadline around late October.
In order for the Texans to take a leap of progression in 2022, the run game needs to be addressed. The Texans inability to run the ball is not all on the running backs.
