Ogbo Okoronkwo kept harassing Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Malik Willis, pressuring him relentlessly. AaronWilson_NFL

The Texans’ defensive end Alief Taylor graduate was a force during Sunday’s 19-14 road victory, helping the Texans snap a nine-game losing streak. He had two sacks, three tackles for losses and five quarterback hits as Willis passed for just 99 yards and was intercepted twice and sacked four times. He had a paltry 34.5 passer rating.

Okoronkwo is hitting a late-season stride. The former Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year from Oklahoma and Los Angeles Rams player has recorded a career-high four sacks after posting the first multiple-sack game of his career.“We’re finally getting our rhythm,” Okoronkwo said. “Everything’s just sort of coming together. We’re just hoping to keep building on what we’re doing.”

He has started six games and has a career-high 39 tackles, 10 quarterback hits and has one forced fumble. He has played 437 snaps overall, 42 percent of the defensive playing time. “Just his overall play has been very good. That’s what we’ve seen from him. He practices that way. He’s just enjoying playing football right now.”
