On the run game struggles, penalties and being a second-half team.
We ran for 5.4 yards per rush in the entire game. The first half is where we were shut down. We had 8 rushes for 14 yards. We were trying to do too much offensively in my opinion in that first half. We were looking for big chunk plays while Houston was leaving the middle of the field wide open for 5-6 yard gains. Just take the yards and get yourself down to the red zone. At least you keep the defense off the field that way
