Tied 14-14, the Houston Texans needed points on the board to keep the Tennessee Titans at bay. Luckily, they got them.
After a 12-yard Deshaun Watson scamper, aided by a defensive holding, Houston went run on first-and-10. Running back Carlos Hyde attacked the middle of the lane, bounced outside and found pay dirt. Watch below.
Hyde’s 10-yard run capped off a seven-play, 75-yard drive spanning 3:01 minute. It was a response to an A.J. Brown touchdown reception that tied the game up.
Quietly, Hyde has had an impressive game against the Titans. After the 10-yard touchdown run, he had 18 carries for 82 yards and a score on the day, with much of the final quarter remaining.
With the touchdown, Hyde now has 1,000 yards on the season. Surprisingly, it’s the first time he has done so in his six years in the NFL. It’s fair to say that the trade to acquire him on Aug. 31 has paid off.
