A week ago, Jadeveon Clowney sealed a defeat for his Houston Texans by jumping offsides late against the Indianapolis Colts.
That penalty ended the Texans their franchise-best nine-game winning streak, and the former Gamecock All-American took it hard, telling reporters several days later that he was “upset” about his mistake.
On Saturday, Clowney got a chance at redemption and took it, taking down New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold on third down late to essentially ice the game and give Houston a crucial 29-22 victory.
The sack capped a game in which Clowney was also credited with three tackles, two of them solo, one of them for loss and two QB hits.
