One of the most anticipated aspects of the Houston Texans heading into Week 1 was the debut of Dameon Pierce.
However, the fourth-round running back truly looked like a tepid rookie with just 11 carries for 33 yards and a 6-yard catch. Rex Burkhead, who Pierce was supposed to supplant on the roster as RB1, led the team with 14 carries for 40 yards and caught five passes for 30 yards.
