Dameon Pierce ran into an all too familiar brick wall Sunday, yet another defense copying the blueprint for how to stop him and the Texans’ once formidable running game. dameonpierce texans kprc2 click2houston htx housports sports
The Miami Dolphins’ stout defense became the latest unit that shut down Pierce, a contender for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year.
The Texans finished with 36 rushing yards on 14 carries. Backup running back Dare Ogunbowale was the leading rusher with 14 yards on four carries and a touchdown. Pierce rushed for 94 yards on 17 carries in a loss to the New York Giants two games ago and a career-high 139 rushing yards against the Philadelphia Eagles three games ago. It’s not as if he forgot how to run the football.
The Texans faced seven or more defenders on all but one of Pierce’s carries. He had four total yards against those alignments.
