Despite stellar wins against the Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Jets, teams with top ranked defenses in the AFC, the Houston Texans still lack a viable option at running back.
In the last three games, all which were games won by Houston, the Texans have struggled to run the football in any fashion.
The Texans have employed a running back by committee approach with Alfred Blue usually assuming the starting role, followed by a steady dose of Chris Polk and Jonathan Grimes.
With the Texans’ running backs currently on the roster, they have maintained to rank in the bottom of the league in rushing, currently ranking 29th in the NFL with an average of 90 yards per game.
