Bayou Buzz Football: What We Learned from Houston’s 34-10 win Cowboys

Bayou Buzz Football: What We Learned from Houston’s 34-10 win Cowboys … The Texans moved to 7-4 this season with a 34-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Joe Mixon returned by running Houston’s first two possessions, scoring consecutive touchdowns and adding a third in the fourth quarter.

Running back Joe Mixon was referred to as “a force” by Texans coach DeMeco Ryans following his three-TD performance in Houston’s 34-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on “Monday Night Football.”

Mixon ran for 109 yards and scored all of the Texans’ offensive touchdowns, carrying the load for the offense. In his career, he has scored three running touchdowns in a single game, which is the second-highest total.

Mixon became just the fourth player in Texans history to tie the team’s single-game running touchdown record. Ryans and Mixon, however, praised the offensive line for giving the former Pro Bowl back running opportunities.

Ryans added, “Joe is a force for us when he’s on.” “Our offensive line is where the running game begins. I pushed them to play more aggressively and quickly.

They did an outstanding job, in my opinion. I’m happy of the players for accepting the task, and I admire how we kept churning it out in the run game.”

79 of Mixon’s 109 rushing yards, including his career-long 45-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, were gained before to contact, per ESPN Research.

Mixon’s sixth straight game with a rushing score tied the record set by former All-Pro running back Arian Foster in 2011 for the longest stretch in Texans history. Bayou Buzz Football: What We Learned from Houston’s 34-10 win Cowboys
