Deshaun Watson at 52 sacks and counting as Texans search for answers

HOUSTON -- Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has broken a slew of franchise records and a handful of NFL records in his hot start to his career, but there's one record Houston would like to keep as far away from him as possible.

In 2002, quarterback David Carr was sacked 76 times as a rookie in Houston's inaugural season, the NFL record for sacks taken in a season.

With Watson sitting at 52 with two games remaining, he likely won't come close to Carr's record, but considering only six quarterbacks in NFL history have been sacked 60 times in a season, keeping him as close to 52 would be ideal for Watson's future as well as Houston's playoff hopes.
