Texans rookie safety Jalen Pitre had another big game Sunday, recording a team-high 12...
ARLINGTON — Since he was moved from strong safety to free safety a few weeks ago, Jalen Pitre has balled out.“We made the move with him back in the middle of the field and it’s paying dividends,” Texans coach Lovie Smith said. “He’s a good player. It seems like it’s his natural position. He was active, tackling, playing the ball like all of the guys were today.”
It wasn’t that he led the team in tackles, it was the tackles that he made. He had at least two tackles where he hit the receiver so hard it jarred the ball loose, causing incompletions. He was also credited with two pass deflections, including a diving deflection on third-and-10 with 44 seconds left in the second quarter that saved a potential touchdown.
But Pitre’s best play happened on third-and-3 from the Houston 3-yard line with nine minutes left in the third quarter. The Cowboys ran it with Ezekiel Elliott, who looked like he had an open hole to the end zone. But Pitre tackled him by his ankles and brought him short of the goal line. It brought up a fourth-and-goal, which the Cowboys went for, and did not convert, giving the Texans the ball back with a 20-17 lead.
“I just try to take advantage of my opportunities,” Pitre said. “My coaches are putting me in a great spot to make plays, and I have been making them. I am just going to try to build off the good stuff and correct the bad stuff.”
