"If you did not watch the Thursday Night Football game last night, then you missed an all-time defensive performance from the Houston Texans. I mean wow. In a game that was started by Davis Mills, nobody thought the Houston Texans would have a chance in this game. They have now won three in a row with Mills under center and all of a sudden are back in the AFC playoff race mainly because of that defense, holy cow."
"The Texans have a top defense this season. Houston entered Thursday with the No. 1 ranked unit in the NFL, allowing only 258.1 yards per game. Their defensive line is a force and Buffalo's offensive line was not up to the task by any means. Texans pass rushers Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson have entered the conversation as the best rushers in all of football."
"That duo is just insane. They combined for 4.5 sacks, giving Hunter 11 on the year and Anderson 10.5. Anderson is a legitimate Defensive Player of the Year contender. This clearly shows that if you have a average guy behind center that maybe you can win big games with just a great defense, which is why Dallas should use their two first round picks on that side of the ball now that they have Williams and Clark holding down the middle."
The Houston Texans overcame low expectations with Davis Mills starting and have won three straight games propelled largely by an elite defense. Houston entered Thursday ranked No. 1 in yards allowed (258.1 per game) and dominated Buffalo's offensive line. Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson combined for 4.5 sacks, boosting their season totals to 11 and 10.5 respectively, and Anderson emerged as a Defensive Player of the Year contender. The Texans totaled eight sacks, marking the most times Allen has been taken down in a game and the first time since 2023 Allen was sacked five or more times. The defensive performance revitalized Houston's AFC playoff prospects and prompted calls for Dallas to prioritize defensive draft picks.
