The Houston Texans were up 10-3. However, that wasn’t a confident seven-point lead. While their defense caused four turnovers, the offense struggled to turn them into touchdowns, upset on the fourth turnover.
After a Peyton Barber fumble, the Texans enjoyed a seven-play, 42-yard drive spanning 2:54 minutes to convert their first offensive touchdown of the day. Following a Darren Fells 11-yard near-touchdown reception, Carlos Hyde punched-in a one-yard touchdown run to put the Texans up 17-3 in the second.
Watch below. Hyde grinds out the tough yard for his sixth rushing touchdown of the season.
Though he has a touchdown to his name, the Buccaneers aren’t making life easy for Hyde. Their stout run defense has held him to nine rush attempts for 18 yards on the day. That should come as no surprise, however, as they entered the game as the NFL’s best rush defense.
Nonetheless, Hyde got the score, and the Texans are up 17-3.
