The Houston Texans’ no-name pass rush made its presence felt against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 Sunday afternoon at NRG Stadium.
On second-and-8 from the Texans’ 12-yard line, defensive linemen Michael Dwumfour and Chris Smith managed to get behind the line of scrimmage and sack quarterback Justin Herbert. The sack backed up the Chargers on a third-and-14, which they weren’t able to overcome and had to settle for a field goal.
Smith got a sack the previous week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Houston has had to rely on a bevy of practice squad players and recent roster additions due to players testing positive for COVID-19.
