James Houston bagged three sacks in the Detroit Lions big win over the Chicago Bears in Week 17, including a strip-sack of QB Justin Fields that created a takeaway. Houston was rewarded for his fantastic game by earning the Pepsi Rookie of the Week for Week 17.
Houston, a sixth-round pick from Jackson State, took over the NFL rookie sack lead from teammate Aidan Hutchinson with his three-sack day. Hutchinson notched a half-sack and also picked off a pass in the win. No. 59 has proven to be a big problem for opposing offenses with eight sacks in six weeks.
