Don’t look away, but the Houston Texans have a talented duo of running backs in the backfield. Acquiring Duke Johnson and Carlos Hyde through separate trades have given life to a mainly stagnant run game since Bill O’Brien took over as head coach in 2014. The run game was productive in O’Brien’s first year with Arian Foster, but an Achilles injury in the 2015 regular season prematurely ended his career in Houston.
Texans showed some success with his successor in Lamar Miller, but the run game was limited with Alfred Blue as the second option.
