Hall of Fame and two-time Super Bowl-winning coach Bill Parcells had a rule for fumble recoveries: smaller guys should pick it up, big guys should fall on it.
Houston Texans defensive tackle Jaleel Johnson would have made the Big Tuna proud not once but twice against the Green Bay Packers Saturday night at Lambeau Field.
In the first half, defensive end Jonathan Greenard strip-sacked quarterback Jordan Love, and Johnson fell on that loose ball to give the Texans’ offense first-and-10 inside the red zone.
Early in the third quarter, a botched hand-off put the ball on the grass once more. After Texans defenders were unable to corral the football for a scoop-and-score, Johnson fell on the ball to recover his second loose ball of the evening.
The Texans defensive line has looked solid against the Packers, and Johnson’s fumble recoveries are icing on the cake.
