Breakfast: Texans secondary steps up

The Texans secondary has faced its share of adversity.

In Week 6, Kevin Johnson suffered a season-ending injury was placed on IR.

This season, starters Johnathan Joseph and Kareem Jackson each missed two games, while Quintin Demps was inactive for three with injuries.

Still, the Texans defense has allowed a league-low 305.7 yards per game while the secondary has helped limit passing yards to just 206.2 per game, ranking second in the NFL (Denver, 187.2). Led by the cornerback tandem of Joseph and Jackson, Houston’s backfield has stepped up this season.
