The way the Rockets season is going and how the Texans started, I'm ready for anything at this point.

For reference: 1992 Houston Oilers Ray Childress 13.0 sacks Lee Williams 11.0 sacks Sean Jones 8.5 sacks William Fuller 8.0 sacks Maybe next year the Texans can have Watt, Clowney, and Mercilus all with double digits? Though that would be difficult to distribute.
Nice stats and H-Town history Remember all names mentioned except Williams... shame on me.... Watt-Clowney-Mercilus seems like a deadly history-making trio, though. When HOU fans and non-HOU fans talk about Watt-Clownery "lining on the same side", its easily advantage H. Stay tuned for a respectable QB to assist...
