Until two weeks ago, the Houston Texans had arguably the best rookie-led rushing attack in the NFL. Dameon Pierce was a top five running back and well on his way to a record breaking campaign.
After nine games, Pierce had 762 rushing yards, averaging 84.66 yards per game. Projected across the full season, the bulldozing rook was on track to hit 1,439 total yards on the year.
