There were many stars in the Texans 27-to-7 victory over
the Jaguars. You can make a case for David Carr, certainly
Andre Johnson's name comes to mind. What about the offensive line ?
Hey , the entire defensive unit played great.

But my vote goes to runnng backs Wali Lundy and
Samkon Gado, for giving the Texans their first
real running attack of the season.

Lets not forget about the offensive line, center Mike Flanagan
and company were openning some huge holes .
Gado started the game , and his smash-mouth style softened
up the Jaguars for Lundy.

After not playing for 3 games , Lundy came back hungry.
He made the most of his second chance , running for 93 yards
and a touchdown.
The touchdown was the first by a Texans running back this
season, and the rookie's first score as a professional.

What was really amazing was that the Texans found their
running legs against one of the top defensive units
in the N.F.L. .

Gado is still learning the offense , so he will improve on
his 10 carries for 27 yards. Meanwhile, this was a second
chance for Lundy .

He openned the year as the starting running back, but somehow
worked his way into the doghouse. But the rookie didn't stop working
hard, he kept studying his playbook waiting for another shot
and he got it on Sunday.
Lundy made the most of his new opportunity , and he's hoping to
build on his performance this week when the Texans travel to
Tennessee to take on the Titans.
