3. Whitney Mercilus’ Big Day Defensively
Although Houston is still in search of its first win, there are a few bright spots for the Texans.
Whitney Mercilus had a big day defensively chasing down Cousins, as the 30 year-old had four tackles and two sacks.
Mercilus accounted for two of Houston’s three sacks of Cousins on the day, as P.J Hall registered the other.
The Texans have several questions to answer as they sit at 0-4, but Mercilus’ performance was one of the highlights for Houston.
