The Houston Texans, in search of their first playoff birth and first division title, suffered a major blow Sunday as their all-pro defensive end and linebacker tore his pectoral muscle and will miss the remainder of the season.Williams has been nothing short of dominant in his career, racking up 192 tackles and a remarkable total of 53 sacks including five through his four games played this season. When Wade Phillips took over the defense this year in Houston, the change of Williams to outside linebacker was heavily scrutinized but with the new 3-4 defense, he has fit well into his new role.
With the Indianapolis Colts struggling without Peyton Manning, the Texans have been given every opportunity to win the division but without Mario Williams, they will face a challenge they never expected to face.
