The Houston Texans’ rushing offense was as effective as making that first minimum payment on four years’ worth of student loans.
At 3.4 yards per carry, it would have been better off had the Texans thrown the ball than to ever run it. At 83.6 yards per game, Houston quarterbacks, whether Davis Mills or Tyrod Taylor, were the only hope the offense had to move the football.
The Texans are bringing back running back Rex Burkhead, but Houston must look to the draft for other solutions to the run game.
