HOUSTON -- In running back Joe Mixon's first game since Week 2, he and the Houston Texans' offense exploded in the 41-21 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday.
Mixon finished with 102 yards rushing on 13 carries and a touchdown in the Texans' Week 6 win, and he also had two receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown. Sunday also was the first time that the Texans (5-1) scored 41 points in the regular season since Week 16 of the 2021 season.
And they did it without wide receiver Nico Collins.
