Finding holes and decisively hitting them, elusive Texans rookie kick returner and running back Tyler Ervin got his NFL career off to a fast start Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Ervin generated 108 all-purpose yards, including returning three kickoffs for 73 yards and a 24.8 average. He also returned three punts for a 9.7 average, had one carry for three yards and a five-yard reception.
