NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- After a run during his 104-yard performance on Sunday, Carlos Hyde went to the sideline to remind himself of what had gotten him there.
“I just told myself, ‘Just be patient,” Hyde said. ‘Be patient.’”
And in the fourth quarter, Hyde’s mindset paid off when he ran for a 10-yard touchdown that gave the Texans a 21-14 lead. Hyde credited his offensive line -- including a key block by right tackle Chris Clark -- and the way he was able to find a lane to the end zone.
That run also gave him more than 1,000 rushing yards for the season for the first time in his career.
