When the Texans signed Danielle Hunter, he was supposed to be the final piece of the puzzle at forward. On Sunday, he counted the final play and Houston seemed wise to sign him to a two-year, $51 million deal this offseason.
The defense carried the Texans for the third time this year. Outside of Kalen Bullock being flustered on Josh Downs’ first-quarter touchdown reception, what’s the main issue? Did Houston only have five sacks and six tackles for loss? Is it because Jalen Petry’s interception late in the first half was not returned for a touchdown and only set up a scoring drive?
Hunter and Will Anderson harassed Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson in one of his worst games yet. Even when Houston only hurried three times, it was enough to prevent a Hail Mary from happening at home unlike what happened in Landover for the Chicago Bears.
NOTE: Go watch this play if you haven’t because Jayden Daniels is not a human being and probably just won the Offensive Rookie of the Year Award with a slump to former Texans player Noah Brown.
