Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce made a significant impact during the game against the Cleveland Browns, executing a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. This play marked just the third kickoff return touchdown in the NFL for the year, and interestingly, two of those have been made by the Texans. The touchdown helped narrow the score to 14-7. The team has been actively seeking ways to increase Pierce's involvement, as indicated by his presence on kickoff return, which coincides with Devin Singletary receiving an increase in carries. Pierce's touchdown was a major highlight and came after Amari Cooper's 75-yard TD for the Browns, contributing to the Texans' scoring and receiving widespread attention for the exceptional blocking that allowed Pierce to break free and outrun the opposition to score.
