Dameon Pierce had a game to remember on Sunday in the Houston Texans in a 13-6 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Pro Football Focus reported that Pierce made 17 missed tackles in the game, and had 26 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Included in Pierce’s game was a ridiculous run that can be seen in the tweet below in which he broke numerous tackles.
Pierce now has 412 rushing yards in the first 5 games of his NFL career, which nearly equals what the Texans’ leading rusher a year ago compiled all season.

“Go country boy, go,” Pierce said of the run, per the Associated Press. “I was trying to get to that touchdown. I know I had them big boys coming, eventually. They were going to run behind me at some point. So I was just trying to fight to get in the end zone.”
