2018 was a strange season for Houston Texans’ running backs. Late in his promising rookie season of 2017, D’Onta Foreman tore his Achilles, dashing the hopes that he’d be the presumptive “main” running back going into 2018; still, there was some belief that Foreman might contribute once he got healthy. Lamar Miller had been average at best in a Texans uniform (not entirely due to things within his control). Alfred Blue was…on the roster.
Well, what had happened was, Lamar Miller busted out with his best season in a Texans uniform, including a thrilling 97-yard TD run against the Tennessee Titans on Monday Night Football at NRG Stadium.
