Mixon had his seventh 100-yard game of the season
Texans running back rushes for 101 yards, touchdown, seventh 100-yard game, most in the NFL by any player and first player since 1970 to run for 100 yards and a touchdown in six away games in a row, passing Derrick Henry (2020) and Tiki Barber (2004).
"Joe, man, you talk about a guy who plays with the relentless mindset, the tenacity that you need,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “Joe is an old-school running back. He is the guy that wants it 30 times and keeps getting better the more touches he gets. Really proud of him to know he’s hurting and still push through, still churn out yards when they’re loading the box and to still be able to find a way to get yards. It’s really impressive by our line. I thought our tight ends, can’t say enough about the way they blocked as well. I thought they did an outstanding job blocking and Joe ran it really well.”
Great story by Aaron Wilson.
