WATCH: Texans DE Jonathan Greenard sacks Ravens QB Lamar Jackson

The key for the Houston Texans’ defensive line in 2023 is they were going to be attacking.

Houston showcased some of their attack profile on third-and-2 with 13:45 to go in the first quarter Sunday afternoon against the Baltimore Ravens at M&T Bank Stadium. Defensive end Jonathan Greenard came off the edge and took down Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for a key sack to force Baltimore into a three-and-out.

Greenard had a disappointing 2022 as he played in eight games with four starts, generating just 1.5 sacks. With the former 2020 third-rounder taking down Jackson on Opening Day, it gives Greenard a fast start towards matching his career high of 8.0 from 2021.
