The NFL and NFLPA made it a rule and an emphasis for a reason. Time to put your money where your mouth is.Mixon returned to play and had a carry for one yard. Mixon rushed for 25 yards on nine carries and caught three passes for 25 yards on five targets. Mixon went back to the sideline after getting checked out, rode the stationary bike and lobbied the team medical staff to allow him to go back into the game.
Mixon was replaced by third running back Cam Akers, who’s active Sunday night against the Chicago Bears with Dameon Pierce out this game with a strained hamstring. Akers lost a fumble late in the game. He rushed for 32 yards on seven carries.Mixon and his downhill running style left the Indianapolis Colts’ traditionally stout defense bruised and demoralized as they had no answers for how the Texans’ running game beat them to the punch at every angle.
Mixon was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Week and the Fed-Ex Ground NFL Player of the Week after averaging over five yards per carry against the Colts.
