The short version
- Mims allowed zero pressures on 34 pass-blocking snaps against Houston, per initial PFF charting.

- If confirmed, Mims would have zero pressures on 70-plus pass-blocking snaps through two games.
- Mims said after the game he had circled the Texans matchup on his calendar.
Cincinnati's second-year right tackle turned in a second straight clean pass-protection game against Houston's pass rush.
Cincinnati Bengals right tackle Amarius Mims put together another strong pass-protection performance in the team's Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. According to initial charting from Pro Football Focus, relayed by Gridiron Grading, Mims allowed zero pressures on 34 pass-blocking snaps.
The matchup carried extra weight because of the Texans' edge tandem of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter. If the early numbers hold, Mims would have no pressures allowed on more than 70 pass-blocking snaps through the first two games of the season.
Mims told reporters after the game that he had circled this matchup on his calendar. He pointed to the level of talent Houston fields at defensive end as a reason the game mattered to him.
Mims was drafted with high expectations, with availability being the main concern surrounding him. He showed signs of improvement late last season and has carried that progress into the current campaign.
