Dameon Pierce Held To 35 Total Yards
Published: Sep 18, 2023 at 05:17 AM
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce was held to just 35 total yards in the team's 31-20 loss against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2. Pierce ran the ball 15 times for only 31 yards while also catching two passes for four yards through the air. The second-year back has struggled to get going on the ground this season and finds himself in a running back by committee in Houston. He hasn't totaled over 40 rush yards in a game and hasn't played more than 50% of the team's offensive snaps in either game. Pierce will look to bounce back in Week 3 on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
