HOUSTON -- For much of the season, coach David Culley has been stressing that if the Houston Texans can figure out how to have a more efficient running game, it would be a huge benefit to rookie quarterback Davis Mills.
That finally showed up Sunday in the Texans’ 41-29 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers, when Houston (4-11) finished with a season-high 189 rushing yards in a game they were without three starters on the offensive line because of COVID-19 protocols. The Texans were led by running back Rex Burkhead, who had a career-high 149 yards and two touchdowns.
