Saints vs. Texans: What We Learned from Houston's Dominant Win

With a statement win over the New Orleans Saints in Week 12, the Houston Texans—led by two-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt—extended their unprecedented winning streak to four games and continued to show the league why they are a top-10 defense in the NFL.

Watt had seven quarterback hits and two sacks on the day, improving his NFL-leading season sack count to 13.
