The Houston Texans secondary was already paying undermanned coming into the matchup against the Ravens. They got off to a fast start, but they ended up losing second year safety Jalen Pitre to a chest injury before the end of the first. He did not return to the field for the second half.
The injury interrupted what was the beginning of a good day for the second year safety out of Baylor. He had already been elected a captain in advance of the season. He was using the combination of his coverage and pass rushing skills to make life difficult for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.
