Joe Mixon is cashing in on being the Houston Texans top running back.
The Texans are cashing in on the Green Bay Packers‘ mistakes.
Following a muffed punt recovered by the defensive back M.J. Stewart, Mixon punched in a 2-yard touchdown to give Houston a 10-7 lead at Lambeau Field.
The only downside of the play? His Lambeau Leap was foiled thanks to the Packers’ faithful keeping him out of the stands.
WALK IT IN THERE, JOE

Since returning from injury, Mixon has lived up to billing as being the top option for Houston’s ground game. He finished with 102 yards and a touchdown run in Week 6’s victory over the New England Patriots. Mixon also caught two passes for 30 yards and a touchdown reception in the second half.
As the Texans enter the second half, Mixon remains the head honcho on offense. He’s averaging 7.4 yards per run with three first-down conversions.
