The Jaguars are dismantling the Texans. Just like everyone expected.

And new Jacksonville defensive lineman Calais Campbell is dismantling the Houston offensive line. Campbell has a franchise single-game record 3.5 sacks in the first half alone, as the Jaguars lead, 19-0.

Campbell’s latest sack came one player before a strip sack from Yannick Ngakoue resulted in a recovery and touchdown return by Dante Fowler.

The Texans have looked horrible offensively. Two years ago, coach Bill O’Brien benched quarterback Brian Hoyer in the first half of a blowout loss to the Chiefs. Could Tom Savage be on his way out for Deshaun Watson?

It may not matter; with left tackle Duane Brown out, no quarterback will have a chance behind that offensive line. Savage has been sacked six times.
