The Houston Texans‘ pass rush that received an overhaul in the offseason showed up on 3rd down to get the team off the field.
Defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr. was the first of three Texans to get to Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson, forcing a punt. It’s the first sack of the season and already matches the one sack from last year’s two meetings with the Colts.

Edwards, 30, arrived in Houston after a season with the Seattle Seahawks, appearing in 15 games with 21 tackles, five tackles for loss and two sacks.
Edwards saw an increase in playing time with the six-game suspension of fellow free agent signee Denico Autry. He’s a part of the rotation with Foley Fatukasi, Tim Settle Jr. and Khalil Davis.
