Akers carried the ball nine times for 21 yards and caught one of three targets for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings. The game got away from the Texans early, and Akers was bottled up when Houston tried to get its ground attack going.

The Houston Texans offense largely sputtered Sunday, with C.J. Stroud and Co. shut out in the first half of a 34-7 loss at the Minnesota Vikings. Self-inflicted wounds were largely to blame for Houston's ugly Week 3 outing.
