Houston’s streak of sacks continues!

If there are any (and trust me, there weren’t many of them) positives from Sunday’s loss, it was pass rusher Justin Houston. The Colts’ biggest free-agent acquisition from last spring was brought in to elevate their pass-rush and he has done nothing but fulfill that need.

By getting a sack against the Dolphins, Houston extended his streak to five games. The former Pro Bowler is not only creating a lot of havoc on the edge, but he’s consistently creating easier opportunities for the likes of Jabaal Sherard, Denico Autry, and other pass rushers to get after opposing quarterbacks.
