With eight games remaining in the Houston Texans’ 2022 campaign, the team is still searching for their second win of the season. While the results of their first nine matchups haven’t gone to plan, the team’s defense is starting to come into its own and may have a masterclass in the works for the coming weeks that could help get the team back on track before the season’s end.
Head coach Lovie Smith talked in detail about the leadership of one defensive player, Christian Kirksey, in comments to the media at the Texans’ Wednesday press conference. He admitted that the defense hasn’t played particularly well in every game to this point in the season, but told reporters that with Kirksey in a key role in both the locker room and on the field, the unit is trending up following their loss to the New York Giants in Week 10.
