SACK STREAK
For nine weeks Lions left tackle Taylor Decker had a pretty amazing streak of not allowing a sack. That streak was broken in Carolina Sunday when Decker was credited with allowing two sacks. With the amount of talented pass rushers in this league, it's pretty amazing Decker's streak lasted into Week 11.
"At some point it's going to happen," Decker said Monday. "At some point you're going to give up one. We're all professional athletes here. That's just football and I know that. I'm confident going up one-on-one against anyone in the league."
This week it will be three-time NFL Defensive MVP J.J. Watt and Whitney Mercilus, Houston's talented edge-rushing duo.
"Obviously he's very physically gifted and talented," Decker said of Watt. "He's 6-5, 295, imposing, has short-space quickness, and then on top of that the guys that are talented that play really hard tend to be disruptive and that's what you see out of him."
If Watt can't get home on the rush he's very good at batting balls down at the line of scrimmage, which he did four times last week in the Texans' win over the Patriots.
Decker, who is currently graded as the ninth best tackle by Pro Football Focus, will look to start a new no-sack streak Thursday.
