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

    Defense decided 'enough was enough' at start of win streak.

    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 :cool:

    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...
