The Denver Broncos squeaked by the Houston Texans on the leg of Wil Lutz, who nailed a 34-yard field goal to secure the 18-15 win. After dropping 44 points on the Cowboys, the Broncos’ offense came crashing down to earth with questionable decisions and execution all around, but the defense stepped up big to keep them in the game.
With an ugly 18-15 loss at home to the Denver Broncos on Sunday, the Houston Texans fell to 3-5 on the season. A 3-5 record, eight games in, already pushes an NFL team to the edge of the abyss, but a 3-5 record with your franchise quarterback concussed? Well, let’s just say that there is no parachute coming. Death feels imminent.
After the Texans beat the 49ers, DeMeco Ryans would shout out quarterback C.J. Stroud, citing one of his best games ever.
When Denver sends a five-man rush, it has a 51.8% pressure rate, second best. When it sends four, there's still a pressure rate of 42%, by far the best. Overall on the season, the Broncos pressure signal-callers on 45.9% of their dropbacks, the best.
