Texans poke fun at Miller for getting caught from behind at 1-yard line
It appeared Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller was on his way to the house after breaking free from the Jacksonville Jaguars' defense during Sunday's game.
But Miller didn't count on the electric speed of rookie linebacker Myles Jack, who managed to run him down and tackle him at the one-yard line following a 45-yard gain.
Here's the play:

"They ain't supposed to catch me," Miller said after the game, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. "That's my fault. I got to finish."
Miller said his teammates teased him for being caught from behind so close to the end zone.
"Yeah, they gave me a hard time," said Miller. "That's my fault. They did a great job of giving me the crease. I got to find a way to finish. I was just trying to make a play and I think the offensive line did a great job. I was just trying to be decisive."
The veteran back played limited snaps after appearing to aggravate a shoulder injury, but said he didn't suffer a significant setback.
"I felt good, I was just out of there for a minute," Miller said. "For the most part, I was good."
