ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texans coach DeMeco Ryans called running back Joe Mixon "a force" after his three-touchdown performance in Houston's 34-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football."
Mixon did the heavy lifting for the Texans' offense as he scored all their offensive touchdowns and rushed for 109 yards. His three rushing touchdowns were the second most he's had in a single game in his career.
Mixon tied a Texans single-game record for rushing touchdowns, becoming the fourth player in franchise history to accomplish the feat. But Ryans and Mixon gave credit to the offensive line for paving running lanes for the former Pro Bowl back.
