Jadeveon Clowney continues to be disruptive for Texans
The disruptive presence of defensive end Jadeveon Clowney continues to be a big factor for the Texans' defense.
In the wake of three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt suffering a season-ending back injury that required surgery, Clowney has emerged as a consistent interior force.
Clowney recorded his career-high and NFL-leading ninth tackle for a loss during the first half Sunday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
Clowney entered the game with two sacks, 19 tackles and six quarterback hits.
The former top overall pick experienced a myriad of injuries during his first two NFL seasons, undergoing microfracture knee surgery as a rookie.
