It’s unclear what the message was for the Texans’ defensive line, as they took the field on Jan. 18, 2026, but given the results, they might be wise to utilize it again in the future. The afternoon encouraged five sacks, four forced fumbles, and noteworthy contributions from heroes both sung and unsung, and Tommy Togiai represented the latter group, using a perfectly-executed “Peanut Punch” to strip the football from New England’s star quarterback. Houston’s 28-16 loss to the Patriots wasn’t ideal, but for Togiai, it nonetheless marked another memorable contribution to one of the NFL’s best frontlines; the box scores tallied him for eight tackles (including one TFL) and the aforementioned forced fumble.
