Kansas City Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston is destroying the Denver Broncos’ offensive line and getting pressure on quarterback Trevor Siemian consistently on Sunday Night Football.

Ty Sambrailo is playing right tackle for the Broncos, and he’s simply no match for Houston.

Houston blows by Sambrailo, gets to Siemian and chases him down for the sack. It was Houston’s second sack of the evening.

It didn’t take long for Houston to add a third sack, and this one paid dramatic dividends.

This one resulted in a safety, and it gave the Chiefs a 2-0 lead. To add insult to injury for the Broncos, Tyreek Hill ran the ensuing kickoff back 86 yards for a touchdown. In a matter of 12 seconds, the Chiefs went from zero points to 9 points, thanks in large part to Houston’s play.

This was only the second game of the season for Houston, who returned for the first time last week after having offseason ACL surgery. He finished the night with three sacks and 10 tackles in the Chiefs’ comeback overtime win.
