The Houston Texans defense has played lights out this season. A rejuvenated front seven and an improved secondary have been giving opposing offenses trouble. Recent free agent acquisitions and draft choices have begun to pan out, and the Texans are finally seeing some of their veteran defenders finally have health on their side.
The Texans defense is currently ranked sixth in the NFL and they are only allowing opposing offenses to score an average of 20.5 points a game. The defense has forced 11 fumbles and has a total 28 sacks through the first 10 games in the regular season.
