The Houston Texans' offensive line "dropped their nuts" and Joe Mixon ran wild in Week 1's win at the Indianapolis Colts. Houston's rushing attack didn't pummel defenses as expected in subsequent weeks.
Mixon exited early in Week 2's win over the Chicago Bears with an ankle injury, then didn't play in last week's loss at the Minnesota Vikings. The result for Houston's running game in total? Just 113 rushing yards and zero touchdowns across the last eight quarters, including a rather dismal 3.14 yards per carry. Cam Akers remains an enticing secondary option in Houston's backfield.
