HOUSTON – One look at the Houston Texans’ 1-6-1 record, and one would conclude that they are on track to finish with less than the four wins they have had in back-to-back years.
Yet, one glance at rookie running back Dameon Pierce carrying the ball, and you know that the Texans are putting together something special on the offensive side of the ball. Through eight games, Pierce has 678 yards on 148 carries and has reached the end zone three times. He is just three yards shy of being in the top-five leading rushers in the NFL.
