The Houston Texans knew they could count on Dameon Pierce.
The former 2022 fourth-round pick bulled his way for a 1-yard touchdown Sunday afternoon in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars at TIAA Bank Field.
Pierce started off the seven-play, 62-yard scoring drive being the subject of the first four plays. After being setup with a 46-yard Tank Dell catch and a 1-yard rush from the 2-yard line from quarterback C.J. Stroud, Pierce was ready to deliver.
The scoring drive was setup thanks to a missed 48-yard field goal from Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus. The Texans have not lost in Jacksonville since 2017.
