Instead of yielding a lot of yards and touchdowns to Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the Texans’ defense effectively contained the former NFL Most Valuable Player.
A lot of that success, limiting Jackson to 17 of 22 passing for 169 yards with one interception and a pedestrian 79.5 passer rating, is attributable to the combination of pressure and coverage. Jackson was sacked four times and hit seven times.
Second-year corner Derek Stingley Jr. gave up just two receptions for 37 yards against former Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr, a fellow LSU football alum awarded one questionable pass interference penalty. “Those guys all did well,” Texans defensive coordinator Matt Burke said. “Again, not really knowing some matchups we were going to have, where those guys were going to lineup and those sort of things, we couldn’t necessarily prepare them from that point of view. Obviously, ‘Nelly’ having the interception and getting his hands on the ball early after the sudden change was a huge play for us and showed up a bunch.
Hours of film study paid off for Nelson on Sunday. Nelson anticipated a crossing route from Flowers on the second defensive series of the game, recognizing a familiarity to what Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken did with his playbook at the University of Georgia. “Absolutely, I think we did a lot of good things on defense,” he said. “Offense did some good things as well. It’s a tough team. We just got to watch the film and get better.”
Richardson tends to run outside more than up the middle. He also showed a tendency to throw to his right on the majority of the passes.
