The pass rush of the Houston Texans will not only be key for stopping the likes of Andrew Luck, Marcus Mariota and Nick Foles twice each this season, but it will be the key for this franchise in taking another step in their progression if they want to become the top team in the AFC in 2019.
Last season, the Texans finished fourth in the Pro Football Focus league-wide grades for pressure defense to measure their pass rush with a grade of 78.6, with only the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams ahead of them.
