Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is in a prime position to score a touchdown today against the Indianapolis Colts. Mixon has been a touchdown machine this season, scoring 5 total touchdowns in just 4 games. This includes 4 rushing touchdowns and 1 receiving touchdown. Notably, he has scored in three of his four games this season.
His average of 1.3 touchdowns per game this season makes him a consistent threat to find the end zone. Additionally, Mixon has a history of success against the Colts, scoring a rushing touchdown in four consecutive games against them. If he scores today, he will join an elite group of players who have scored in five straight games against the Colts, a feat that hasn't been accomplished since 2005!
The Colts' run defense has been one of the worst in the NFL this season, ranking 31st in rushing yards allowed per game (159.9 yards). They’ve also allowed 31 runs of 10+ yards, tied for the most in the league. This bodes well for Mixon, who thrives on runs outside the tackles, averaging 5.5 yards per carry on such plays. The Colts allow 56.2% of opposing runs to go outside the tackles, which plays right into Mixon’s strengths. In their Week 1 matchup, Mixon torched the Colts for 159 rushing yards and a touchdown. Given the Colts' continued struggles against the run, Mixon will have plenty of opportunities to score again today.
Given Mixon’s recent form, his history of success against the Colts, and the favorable matchup against one of the league’s worst run defenses, he is highly likely to score a touchdown today. Mixon will be a key factor in the Texans' offense and a strong candidate to find the end zone. Don’t overthink it, let’s just lock this up and secure that DUB!
