Defensive Spotlight: Danielle Hunter is expected to teach AND take over

The Houston Texans are back in action after their Week 6 bye, and in order to get back to .500 after an 0-3 start to the season, they'll need to withstand the Seahawks and the 12th Man up in Seattle. Additionally, they'll need to figure out a way to slow down the NFL's leading receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and that starts with getting after veteran quarterback Sam Darnold.

Although Darnold's numbers against pressure were above average during his out-of-body season with the Minnesota Vikings last year, historically, pressuring the former 3rd overall pick has been the key to getting him out of a rhythm.
