Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde rushed 10 times for 83 yards and caught a pass for 2 yards in a 30-28, Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday.
Hyde started over Duke Johnson and led the Texans in carries while showing off impressive burst throughout the contest. He was out-touched by Johnson 13-11, but Hyde appears to be the preferred early-down option out of the backfield. Houston hosts the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2.
