Walked away with a 3-touchdown day between rushing and receiving despite the Bills' defense not being close to forcing interceptions or other turnovers; productive performance against Buffalo's defense.PositiveUsageSep 13, 2026
Montgomery was tough to contain on the ground despite early encouraging signs from Buffalo's defense. He had touchdown runs of one yard and 18 yards in the first half, carrying 13 times for 52 yards in the half alone. He finished with 60 rushing yards and two touchdowns, plus three catches for 19 yards and a receiving touchdown. Montgomery was able to gain the yards Houston needed in multiple clutch situations, with the Texans' offensive line clearing space consistently.NegativeRoleSep 12, 2026
Newly acquired running back David Montgomery should add much-needed juice to Houston's rushing attack. If the Texans' offensive line can open holes for him and Trent Brown holds up in pass protection, Buffalo could face a long day; conversely, if Buffalo wins early-down battles against the poor protection unit, they could force Houston into a pass-happy game script.PositiveRoleSep 11, 2026
Montgomery is identified as the Texans' most important offensive addition for 2026; Scott Barzilla expects him to be more effective in the red zone than predecessor Woody Marks and to drive more first downs and time of possession, fitting Houston's ball-control offensive philosophy.NegativeRoleSep 1, 2026
Texans signed Montgomery in free agency as part of offseason run-game bolstering efforts alongside offensive line investments (Braden Smith, Keylan Rutledge). Montgomery joins a backfield that struggled significantly in 2025 (30th in rush EPA, 32nd in Success Rate, rookie Woody Marks at 3.6 YPC); his role is contingent on improved blocking, which is now compromised by Smith's IR placement.
