Texans' line faces huge challenge against Jaguars' pass rush

The last time the Texans' offensive line squared off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, it was a total mismatch as they got manhandled in the season opener.

During that loss, the Texans allowed a franchise-record 10 sacks as Tom Savage was sacked six times in one half.

The Texans, despite injuries and trading Pro Bowl left tackle Duane Brown to the Seattle Seahawks, have stabilized their pass protection a lot since that game. They've still allowed too much pressure, yielding 41 sacks.

Meanwhile, the Jaguars' defense has continued to excel.

Calais Campbell has practically been unblockable, piling up 12 1/2 sacks while Yannick Ngakoue has 11 1/2 sacks followed by Malik Jackson's seven sacks and six for Dante Fowler.
