Texans' Alfred Blue: Logs season-high 11 carries in Week 8 loss

Blue had a season-high 63 rushing yards on 11 carries in the Texans' 27-9 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.

Analysis:

Lamar Miller suffered a shoulder injury and was in and out of the lineup throughout the game, leading to Blue's enhanced playing time. The backup running back ran well but also coughed up the ball when the Texans, down by a score midway though the third quarter, were engineering a drive. That was the turning point in the game. We'll be following the status of Miller's shoulder in the coming days as that will dictate Blue's value heading into a Week 8 home game against the Lions.
