Leading tackler for the team and good all-around player. One of the top players on their defense. The team was hit with key injuries last year that stopped their playoff run.

but on a serious note.

that block was kinda BS and Mathews was right about his tweet they showed on ESPN.
they do need to protect players on BOTH sides of the ball. that block was garbage.

Bad break for the Texans. Cushing a tremendous all-around player. Extra pressure now builds on the DL to get to the QB faster, and safeties have to monitor the middle of the field a bit more from now on.

Watt has taken the mantle as the leader of this defense, but the team will really need to elevate their game to overcome this loss.

do u think NFL will start fining linemen for blocks like that??? I took a Tom Brady injury to change things for QBs...maybe this will change things for D linemen
