The Houston Texans pass rush is middle of the pack when it comes to sacks, tied with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers for the 16th-most in the NFL with 21.
If the Texans are looking to have a 4-7 record to be thankful for after Thursday’s 11:30 a.m. CT encounter with the Detroit Lions at Ford Field, they will need to find ways to pressure quarterback Matthew Stafford.
“He can make all the throws and he’s not afraid to throw it vertically down the field,” interim coach Romeo Crennel said. “A lot of their routes are vertical routes and so we’re going to have to do a good job of trying to pressure him, first of all.
