HOUSTON -- Let's rewind to training camp. The central offensive theme from the Houston Texans coaching staff was the rushing attack.
Under first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans, the goal was to lean on the rushing attack since they had a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud and a running back room featuring Dameon Pierce and Devin Singletary.
Pierce averaged 72 rushing yards per game last season (ranking eighth in the NFL) as a rookie, and Singletary averaged 787 yards per season from 2019 to 2022 with the Buffalo Bills.
