3 year Brit fan with question about how the Texans stopped Josh Allen (3 turnovers 8 sacks).

Been watching for 3-4 years now, and getting a lot more into the game tactically. Haven’t seen Josh Allen be troubled like he was that night and had a few questions around it (sorry if they’re stupid or obvious).

The Texans seemed to prioritise pressure upfront, the pocket was constantly collapsing, is this the best/biggest way to stop a qb who can scramble well?

It seemed as though the corners blitzed or were in press man coverage more often than usual, is this in case of the scramble, I.e they’re closer to the line of scrimmage, or is this to delay the routes, meaning Allen holds the ball for longer and the d line has more time to collapse the pocket?

The sacks speak for themselves as to why they happened, but how did these looks drive turnovers, as they seem to prioritise pressure, as opposed to coverage.

Really sorry if this is stupid, thanks in advance.

When I was around 13/14. I walked to a friends house, up the street, around the corner, up to his door, knocked, no answer, which was weird because I had just called him to say I was coming and he confirmed it was okay. When I turned my head to the left to see if he was outside, through the porch window, of his neighbours, it seemed like a family of three ‘Victorian like’ people were staring at me, with wide open mouths, and hands on their cheeks. Safe to say I bolted back round the corner, when my friend called me, and said ‘are you coming?’ I said, I just knocked, he walked round the corner came and got me and we walked to the same door, and into his house. It’s never left my mind. Anyone got more insight than me?

3 year viewer from across the pond. Since I’ve been watching the importance of a good nickel has been quite fairly obvious. I may be wrong but from older games I’ve viewed it doesn’t seem to be talked about as much, and is less noticeable in game. Sorry for the stupid question and please do tell me if im wrong.
