Houston Texans: Joe Mixon
September 23, 2024
Joe Mixon was absent in the game against the Vikings due to an ankle injury, which significantly impacted the Texans' offense. Without him, the Texans struggled to establish an effective running game, managing only 38 rushing yards. Mixon's presence is crucial for the team's offensive efficiency, as demonstrated by their stronger performance in Week 1 when they ran for 213 yards against the Colts. His injury highlighted the team's reliance on the running game, and the absence of a dominant back like Mixon was keenly felt in this matchup.

Houston Texans: 5 takeaways from loss to Minnesota Vikings

The Houston Texans' hopes of momentum were dashed with a disappointing 34-7 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, marking their largest defeat under head coach DeMeco Ryans.

The Texans struggled offensively, heavily relying on their running game, and without their star running back Joe Mixon, their performance suffered significantly.

Defensively, the team failed to maintain consistent pressure on Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, leading to a difficult outing for Houston.

Penalties haunted the Texans again, with multiple infractions thwarting their drives and another disappointing showing on the offensive line contributed to the defeat.

Looking ahead, the Texans are set to face the Jacksonville Jaguars as they try to rebound in their upcoming division matchup.
