A new version of Houston Texans football has taken Lucas Oil Stadium by storm.
Joe Mixon continued his dominant debut for his new team with a 3-yard touchdown to give the Texans a two-score lead against the Indianapolis Colts. He’s already become the first running back in two years to rush for 100 yards in a single game midway through the fourth quarter.

The 13-play, 70-yard drive reached its peak when C.J. Stroud found Nico Collins for 19 yards on third-and-14. Mixon, who’s averaged 5.3 yards per rush attempt, has been the backbone of the offense.
The Colts responded four plays later when Anthony Richardson connected with Ashton Dulin for a 54-yard touchdown.
It’s a fight to the finish between the two AFC South squads with bad blood after last season.
