What It Means:

Miller split work with Alfred Blue for the majority of the contest after he injured his right shoulder on his third carry of the game. They finished with 11 carries a piece, while Blue out-snapped Miller 35-to-32. Running the ball isn't the issue, but as far as the passing game goes, Houston has a problem. Miller gets a mouth-watering matchup with the Detroit Lions in Week 8.

Among the 21 running backs to rush at least 100 times this season, Miller's -0.04 Rushing Net Expected Points per play rank 16th.
