Texans Pro Bowl defensive end records career-high three sacks in win over Patriots
‘Loved his energy, his best game by far,’ Texans’ Will Anderson Jr. piles up career-high three sacks in road win
Anderson, drafted third overall in the first round out of Alabama last year, finished with a career-high eight tackles and four tackles for losses. He’s just the seventh player in franchise history to have a three-sack game. Not only did Anderson keep Maye from getting comfortable in the backfield, he also batted away one of his throws that was intercepted by safety Eric Murray off the deflection.
“Proud of Will, massive game for him to be able to get after the quarterback the way he did,” Ryans said. “Just a really, really productive day by him, and he stayed out there. Loved his energy from start to finish.” “It’s a blessing, man,” Anderson said. “You’ve just got to keep chopping, man, keep going and getting better and keep working your moves. Don’t be scared to throw more. Keep chopping wood. These guys are tremendous at what they do. It’s a group, and it’s very special and I love those guys.”“Man, that’s the whole thing of this time is to take the ball away,” Anderson said. “That’s something coach has always harped on is you get a lot of turnovers, you turn up and you win the game.
“Man, he’s taught me so much,” Anderson said. “Every time I see him, I give him a big hug. I don’t have any brothers, so all of these guys have been in this group. I look at them as my big brothers. He just kept me composed and kept me grounded these last two weeks. I keep getting better. He kept me on edge: ‘Hey, don’t get lax. When you get lax, your body starts to wind down a little bit. Keep going, keep going.’ And he’s helping me out a lot.
