With the Texans down 10-0 to Indianapolis, the veteran safety popped Indianapolis' Jacoby Brissett and knocked the ball loose, which Lamarr Houston picked up and rumbled into the end zone with for a 34-yard touchdown.
On the Colts' next offensive play, Pleasant blasted Brissett again, picking up sack number two on the day and pushing Indianapolis back six yards to their 19-yard line. The next play, Pleasant drilled Frank Gore for a loss of a yard, and the Colts kneeled out the game clock on the ensuing play before the half ended.
"That was big," cornerback Johnathan Joseph said.
