Will Anderson Jr. Aims for Milestones Against Buffalo Bills

HOUSTON, Texas — Will Anderson Jr. is poised to make history as the Houston Texans prepare to face the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night. Entering the game, Anderson is on the verge of setting a franchise record for consecutive games with a sack.

Anderson has recorded a sack in each of the last five games, matching the streak set by Mario Williams in 2015. The 24-year-old defensive end’s consistent pressure on quarterbacks has been a crucial factor in the Texans’ defensive success this season. Through 10 games, he has compiled eight sacks, solidifying his position among the top edge rushers in the league.

“It’s an honor to be mentioned among the greats of this franchise,” Anderson said in a pre-game interview. “But I’m focused on helping my team win. That’s the most important thing.”

The Texans’ defense, ranked among the best in the league, will face a formidable challenge against Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who has thrown for 28 touchdowns this season. Anderson’s ability to disrupt the passing game will be vital if the Texans hope to claim victory.

Joining Anderson in the defensive line is Danielle Hunter, who has also been impressive, recording nine sacks this season. The duo has emerged as one of the most feared edge rushing pairs in the NFL.

“If we can continue to apply pressure and force quick decisions, we can make it a long night for any quarterback,” Hunter stated. “Our goal is to keep building on our success.”

The Texans, currently 5-5, come into the game with momentum after winning three of their last four contests. Davis Mills will be starting in place of C.J. Stroud, who is sidelined with a concussion. Mills has shown promise in recent weeks, throwing for three touchdowns in a comeback win against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

This matchup carries significant implications for both teams as they vie for playoff positions in the AFC. The Bills, also looking to secure a postseason spot, are riding high after a recent victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

As both teams prepare to clash, Anderson’s quest for history and the intensity of the game promise an exciting confrontation under the lights at NRG Stadium.
