I'm not surprised that Von came into the league and raped more immediately than Houston. You have to admit, though, that Houston is the better pass rusher this season.
Come on. Just admit it. Let me hear ya say it.

Uh, no. They've been pretty even, really. The difference is that Houston got 3 sacks against one of the worst pass protecting teams in the league, 2 of which were after their best OL was injured.
In their games against common opponents, they've been extremely even. They each had 1 sack on Rivers, and Houston had 1 and Von had 2 on Kaepernick.
In pressures, they're only separated by 1 (Von 39, Houston 38), and in stops they're also separated by 1 (Von 19, Houston 18). They each have a single missed tackle.
The teams they've faced are also extremely similar in sacks/game allowed, with Von facing teams allowing 2.14 sacks/game, and Houston facing teams allowing 2.22 sacks/game.
So far, amazingly even. I'll take Von.
