Texans' Lamar Miller: Hits century mark in tough matchup

Miller rushed 22 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and lost a yard on his only reception in the Texans' 20-7 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

The Jaguars' defense carries a reputation as one of the tougher ones in the league, but they've been susceptible to the run, so it was not surprising to see Miller have a big day. He became the third back in three weeks to cross the century mark against Jacksonville. The seventh-year veteran was a clutch component of the offense on an afternoon where the Texans looked to manage Deshaun Watson's exposure in the wake of the young quarterback still dealing with a partly collapsed lung. The performance was Miller's best since the opener versus the Patriots, and his rushing touchdown marked his first visit to the end zone on the ground this season. Miller will look to build on Sunday's tally against the Dolphins in a Week 8 Thursday night matchup.
