Jerry Hughes is one of the most established players on the Houston Texans’ defense and put together a whale of an effort against the Philadelphia Eagles last week with a two-sack performance. While the Texans fell short of securing their second win of the 2022 season in the game, Hughes’ resurgence in the pass rush was a welcome sign of improved productivity for the defense and should bode well for the team’s hopes of eking out another victory before the season ends.
For Hughes, this big-time showing was just one of many in his impressive career, where he has amassed 65 total sacks with the two he added against the Eagles. While he isn’t yet in the running to break any all-time records with that total, he joined rare company by hitting the 65 mark, becoming just the 16th active player in the NFL to accomplish the feat.
