Woody Marks recorded a 23.0% forced missed tackle rate last season, the highest for a starting Texans running back under DeMeco Ryans; Marks 20-yard touchdown on the Texans first possession was a prime example of Raiders getting to him — like safety Tristin McCollum and Porter — but Houston was not to be denied. Marks ended up carrying both Raiders safety Treydan Stukes and linebacker Tommy Eichenberg into the end zone with him.

Marks' 23% forced missed tackle rate leads Texans backs; tough to bring down.

Marks recorded a 23.0% forced missed tackle rate last season, the highest for a starting Texans running back under DeMeco Ryans; in the preseason game against Las Vegas, he demonstrated his elusiveness on his opening-drive 20-yard touchdown run, carrying both Raiders safety Treydan Stukes and linebacker Tommy Eichenberg into the end zone despite initial contact from safety Tristin McCollum and cornerback Darien Porter.
