Death taxes and Joe Mixon hitting 100 yards for the Houston Texans.
That seems to be the only three things Houston fans know exist entering Week 8.

“Joe is going to make some impact plays happen for us,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday. “And everybody thrives off the momentum that Joe is able to create with his run style and his playmaking ability is really huge for our team.
