When the Cincinnati Bengals went after Texans cornerback A.J. Bouye, he was up to the task.
It was a familiar scenario that unfolded for Bouye as he recorded nine solo tackles and tied a career-high by defending three passes.
Bouye is a pending unrestricted free agent who’s emerged as one of the Texans’ most improved players and is regarded as an under-the-radar target for cornerback-needy teams. The former undrafted free agent from Central Florida has a career-high 15 passes defended along with one interception this season.
“He played, really, a good game,” Texans coach Bill O’Brien said.
