After their Week 15 performance, the Texans defense is the best in the NFL, allowing just 306.5 yards per game.
“I just thought the defense played an excellent football game, a lot of guys stepped up,” head coach Bill O’Brien said Monday. “Proud of the effort, missing five starters and now they’re ranked the No. 1 defense in the NFL. The key is they got to keep it going but I thought they did an excellent job yesterday against what I think is an explosive offense so that’s good job by them.”
The Texans defense held the Jaguars to just nine first downs and 150 net yards of offense.
