The Houston Texans have had a revolving door at running back over the past few seasons with no one able to solidify the position, much reach 1,000 yards rushing. Then they made an offseason trade for Joe Mixon and after one game it looks as if the former Bengals star is the answer they’ve been looking for.

“Joe, he stepped up big time for us,” coach DeMeco Ryans said. “We needed him to run the ball. He did. They knew it was run, we knew it was run and he still made the play. So just excited to have him on our side. And we’ve seen it all training camp and it was exciting to see him do it here his first game.”
Mixon’s big game, which included 19 yards receiving, came after he had just one 100-yard rushing game last season. Second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud said adding those two players that to an already talented offense gave the team a huge boost Sunday. He added that both guys were constantly talking to their teammates on the sideline to pick them up and encourage them to be better.
