Reed had five tackles and a sack while earning a game ball after Week 1's win over Washington, CSN Houston reports. Many of the post-game questions focused on the knee injury to Jadeveon Clowney, but head coach Bill O'Brien abruptly changed the subject to Reed's effort. "Brooks Reed played one of the better games that I've seen an outside linebacker play (recently). He went out there and played a very disciplined game, got good pressure on the quarterback, played good against the run game," said O'Brien.
