The Texans punched it into the end zone the old-fashioned way Sunday by rolling up their sleeves and shoving the Jacksonville Jaguars backwards.
With a physical run from running back Lamar Miller for a 5-yard touchdown, the Texans popped the Jaguars behind blocks from right guard Greg Mancz, center Nick Martin and right tackle Kendall Lamm.
This was the kind of aggressive play the Texans have been looking for.
"Yeah, you've got to," Lamm said. "When you get down there, you take pride as an O-line and you want to run the ball in. Scoring is scoring, but when you can run it in, it sets the tone and lets you know that we're there to play.
