Football games are won or lost in the trenches. To open preseason, the Houston Texans defeated the New Orleans Saints 17-13, thanks in large part to their five sacks and timely pressure from the defensive line.
Leading the way for Houston was the New England Patriot’s 2017 third-round pick, Derek Rivers. The fifth-year defensive end joined Houston in 2021, along with Nick Caserio but only played in five games last season.
