INDIANAPOLIS -- At 6-7, 295 pounds, Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner isn't built like your typical interior lineman. Buckner's ability to translate speed to power makes him a nightmare for offensive guards, and no team knows that better than the Houston Texans.
While not quite at T.Y. Hilton levels of domination, Buckner had 5 of his 9.5 sacks last season against the Texans, including a 3-sack performance in Week 15.
Ahead of Sunday's game against the Texans, Buckner said he's yet to play at his 2020 level. The former Oregon star has just one sack and that came all the way back in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks.
