The 2016 season was a great one for the Houston Texans defense but what's next?
After wrapping up the regular season as the No. 1 defense in the NFL for the first time in franchise history, the Texans continued to wreak havoc in the postseason, forcing six takeaways, 21 passes defensed and allowing just 81.0 yards rushing per game.
"I thought the defense played well this year," head coach Bill O'Brien said Monday. "Looking forward to evaluating and trying to get better.”
Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel worked around key injuries to starters like J.J. Watt and Kevin Johnson.
