Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik’s scheme is based on a strong run game. Through the first eight games of the season, the Houston Texans were having trouble getting the ground game going.
Throw in starting running back Dameon Pierce missing his second game with an ankle injury, and Week 10’s showdown with the Cincinnati Bengals looked like another game where Houston would struggle in the running game.
However, the Texans signed former Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary in free agency to provide veteran support. Singletary got the run game going and scored his first rushing touchdown of the season with 7:12 to go in the third quarter. Singletary’s 6-yard touchdown run pushed Houston ahead 20-7.
