In a remarkable performance, Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce rushed for a career-high 176 yards, including a stunning 92-yard touchdown run, leading his team to a 23-14 victory against the Tennessee Titans in the regular-season finale. Coach DeMeco Ryans commended Pierce's efforts, calling it a significant moment for the third-year player who had not reached 100 yards in a game since November 2022.
Pierce's touchdown, the second-longest in Texans history, showcased his resilience and ability to make plays under pressure. After overcoming injuries and a reduced role in the season, Pierce's standout performance comes as a pivotal moment for the Texans heading into the playoffs.
