The Offensive Line is Better, And That Was the Goal

Improvement but it needs to last

The offensive line of the Houston Texans is better than it was last year. That was the hope and goal of the offseason.

It’s not a lot better, but it’s better.

Last season, the Texans were the fifth-worst team in terms of quarterback pressure allowed, according to Next Gen Stats. Houston finds itself ranked 17th in the same statistic this year. It’s not even a three percent difference, 37.9% vs 34.5%, but it’s notable.

They averaged nearly 3 sacks per game last year, compared to 2.5 this season.

It’s an incremental improvement, but a notable improvement. Especially considering how the Texans got here on the offensive line.
