Stop me if you've heard this before: The Houston Texans have to run the ball to win the game.
I know saying a team has to run the ball to win a game is like saying a starting pitcher has to pitch well for a baseball team to win, but hear me out.
Regardless of which coach was on the sidelines, the Texans have always been a team that relied heavily upon the run as the main focus of their offensive scheme; that won't be any different in 2015.
In a conversation such as this, the discussion would normally be about running the ball well, meaning the yards-per-carry stat is used to quantify how efficient and effective the run game is.
