Jonathan Williams turns short run into big play for first TD since 2016

HOUSTON — Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Williams, starting in place of the injured Marlon Mack (hand), capped a 11-play, 66-yard drive that featured 10 running plays with the best run of the drive.

Williams started up the middle where he was met by Texans linebackers Zach Cunningham and Benardrick McKinney what was should have been a short gain. Williams broke free from both players and bounced to the outside. Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph thought he had a clear shot on Williams, but the running back delivered a left-handed stiff arm to the cornerback before running into the end zone for the touchdown..

It was Williams’ first touchdown with the Colts and his first in three seasons. Paired with a Jacoby Brissett touchdown run in the first half, It’s the first time the Colts have had multiple rushing touchdowns against the Texans since Week 16 of 2007, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
