RB David Montgomery: 20 carries for 60 yards and 3 receptions for 19 yards might not seem like much, but throw in 2 rushing TDs, along with a receiving TD, and he showed that Houston might have the back they need.

Positive signalRole

Montgomery's 3 TDs and 30 touches signal he's the lead back Houston needs.

Montgomery earned a game ball with 20 carries for 60 yards, 3 receptions for 19 yards, and 3 total TDs (2 rushing, 1 receiving). The source notes that while 20 carries for 60 yards might not seem impressive on its surface, the TD production and nearly 30 total rushes at nearly 4 yards per clip with the RBs suggests Houston may have found the back they need, especially later in the season. Woody Marks served as the change-up back (9 rushes for 42 yards), a role that will suit him better.
