CAUSE FOR PAUSE?

One of the main areas of improvement for the Texans this season, has been the running game with the addition of Joe Mixon.

Mixon rushed for 100 yards or more in 5 of his first 6 games with the team. But unfortunately for Houston, Mixon hasn't been nearly as effective recently.

When looking at his recent numbers, Mixon has failed to rush for more than 46 yards in 3 of his last 5 games. Posting only 26 rushing yards against Miami on Sunday.

With this in mind, is the state of Houston's run game a major concern, especially when the playoffs begin?
