Justin Houston can do more than just get them sacks, he’ll pick you off and return it for points as well

It’s more or less common knowledge that Kansas City Chiefs’ Justin Houston is one of the best sack masters in the NFL. However, that’s not all that he can do on the football field, and we found that out on Sunday against the San Diego Chargers.

In the third quarter of this one, the Chiefs were already holding a 12-3 lead over their division rival, which was good, but a little more of a cushion would have been nice. Well, Houston got them that cushion they were looking for.

Rivers and the Chargers were backed up in their own territory and the San Diego franchise signal caller dropped back to throw to try and get something going with his team down. Well, the only thing that was going on here was Houston picking the ball off from Rivers and returning it to the house for the six points and an even bigger lead.

So, basically, Justin Houston will make life a living hell for a quarterback no matter what. He’ll come off the edge and sack you, or for even better measure, he’ll pick you off and return it to the house.
