‘Since Houston can keep Allen trapped in the pocket with its front four alone, it doesn’t have to sacrifice resources in coverage. Thirteen of the 15 pressures and seven of the eight sacks the Texans racked up on Allen in 2025 came when sending four or fewer pass rushers, per NFL Pro. Houston didn’t blitz a single play against Allen in their 23-19 victory in Week 12 last season. Not blitzing allowed the Texans to use man coverage on 42.2% of their dropbacks against Allen that night, their second-highest rate in a game last season, per NFL Pro.’
