Texans put game away with running game led by Joe Mixon
Texans lean on Joe Mixon in clutch moments, win over Jaguars: ‘That’s will, want-to and grit, imposing our will’
“Those boys, they was locked in. Third-and-five, you know it’s coming, they knew it was coming. They knew where it was coming. To be able to dominate and come out on top and be able to convert a 3rd-and-5, that’s will and want-to. That’s grit. That’s imposing our will and I’m glad we were able to convert and finish strong.”Mixon had his seventh 100-yard game of the season, the most by any NFL player.
“Empty the tank, strain, empty the tank,” Mixon said. “Credit to Slow to call a 3rd-and-5 run to end the game like that, bro, it was a hell of a thing. I’m just glad we was able to put it on ice. Hey, I got to put it on tape. I got to put it on the line for my guys. Hey, we played a 60-minute game, a divisional game and we needed it. When we need it most, that’s when you put your best on tape. I’m just glad we was able to close it out in running fashion.
Voted a team captain in balloting from his teammates for his outspoken style and keep-it-real approach, Mixon replaced an injured Stefon Diggs in that leadership capacity. He’s carried this team at times on his back.
