By the Numbers, preseason style | Daily Brew

The regular season isn't quite here but the preseason is over, so I thought for my Daily Brew, I'd do a little "By the Numbers" as if the regular season were here.

7.82 - That's the whopping yards per carry in the preseason for rookie running back Dameon Pierce. The rookie finished with 11 carries for 86 yards and a tuddy in two games.

14 - The Texans defense racked up a whopping 14 sacks in the three preseason games. The man who led the Texans in sacks was Derek Rivers.

3 - Rivers finished the preseason with three sacks but he, unfortunately, was injured in the fourth quarter after a brilliant training camp/preseason.

2 - Two players had multiple sacks - Kurt Hinish and Rivers - for the Texans in the 2022 preseason.

11 - The Texans pass rush was outstanding up and down the roster. 11 different players recorded a sack in the preseason.
