STUD: LB Darius Leonard

The Maniac almost came through with another big play that could have changed the game. No one knows for sure what would have happened if the league reviewed the forced fumble in the fourth quarter, but the second-year backer made a big impact in this game.

Though he only had six tackles, Leonard was constantly flying toward the line of scrimmage making a play. His closing speed was on another level Thursday night, and it showed when he pressured Deshaun Watson on a blitz through the A-gap in the first half.

Leonard didn’t stuff the stat sheet in this game, but he did have an impact and almost came through with another clutch turnover.
