Jaguars seek improved sack production from Hines-Allen, Walker

As the Jacksonville Jaguars prepare for their game against the Houston Texans on October 17, attention turns to the performance of defensive ends Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker. Combining for just one sack over the last four games, concerns grow over their pass-rushing effectiveness. Coach Liam Coen notes their ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks remains strong, despite the lack of recent sacks. The Jaguars' defense is currently tied for 12th in the NFL with 11 total sacks, while the Texans have allowed 14 sacks, ranking seventh-most in the league. If Hines-Allen and Walker can replicate their earlier success this week, it could significantly bolster the Jaguars' defensive efforts as they aim for a 5-1 record.
