One day after the offensive line had their top performance of the season, allowing just two sacks in a win over the Los Angeles Chargers, Texans coach Bill O'Brien was measured in his praise.
It was one game, but it was a dramatic improvement Sunday. The Texans allowed quarterback Deshaun Watson to be sacked twice against the top pass-rushing tandem of Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram.
The Texans had given up 10 sacks in the first two games and allowed an NFL-high 62 sacks last season.
