The running game lives on with Williams

More than likely, there was some concern among Colts fans about the running game not being as good without starter Marlon Mack, who suffered a fractured hand last Sunday, but that would go away with each run by Jonathan Williams on Thursday night.

The fourth-year running back followed his Week 11 performance of 116 rushing yards with another one against the Texans to the tune of 104 rushing yards and one touchdown. There wasn’t a single run that couldn’t be handled by Williams since he showed similar patience and quickness on the edge like Mack and led the Colts offense all game.
