Texans' Lamar Miller: Tops century mark in Texans debut

Miller rushed 28 times for 106 yards, and hauled in four of his six targets for 11 more in Sunday's season-opening 23-14 win over the Bears.

Analysis:

Miller's Texans debut was a good one, as he topped the 100-yard mark on the ground for the seventh time in his career. Houston figures to rely on the ground game quite a bit given its stout defense and questions about Brock Osweiler's ability at the quarterback position, so the former Dolphins running back should see north of 20 carries per game consistently. While he only managed 3.8 yards per carry Sunday, Miller's career average of 4.6 suggests greater things to come.
