The Houston Texans have a commitment to run the football. The Chicago Bears have a problem stopping the run. It should mean the Texans have a less difficult path to get their first win of the year in Week 3 at Soldier Field.
The problem for Houston through the first two games hasn’t been their run game necessarily — at least, not as far as rookie running back Dameon Pierce is concerned. The fourth-rounder from Florida had 11 carries for 33 yards in the 20-20 with the Indianapolis Colts, but he got more of a workload in the 16-9 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 2 with 15 rushes for 69 yards, a more respectable 4.6 yards per carry.
