Last week, Detroit Lions rookie Aidan Hutchinson quietly walked away with NFL Rookie of the Week honors. You probably didn’t hear or see that, because it was announced hours before the Lions’ Thanksgiving matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
Well, this week another Lions rookie has been nominated for the award, and he just so happened to have made his NFL debut in that Bills game.
Lions sixth-round defensive end only played five defensive snaps on Thursday, but in those snaps Houston tallied two drive-ending stacks, including this beauty where he beat a chip block, avoided the right tackle with a vicious chop, dipped underneath the offensive lineman, and wrapped up one of the tougher quarterbacks to bring down in Josh Allen.
