The Texans came in ranked 30th in the league in rushing yards allowed at 824 while yielding 5.1 yards per carry. They were torched for 164 yards on the ground and 6 yards per carry in their 38-20 loss to the Raiders. Josh Jacobs had a standout performance, rushing for 143 yards and three second-half touchdowns, including two in the fourth quarter. Las Vegas scored touchdowns on all three trips inside the red zone.
