Texans' rushing woes force pass-heavy game plan despite Montgomery as lead back.

Montgomery is the Texans' lead back in an offense with the fifth-worst rush EPA and second-lowest rushing success rate through Week 2; the team averaged negative rushing yards before contact against Cincinnati, forcing CJ Stroud to pass at a 13.2 percent above expected rate, producing 445 air yards in Week 2 alone.
