Will Anderson Jr. was a menace. That’s the simplest way to describe his performance against the Broncos on Sunday.
Houston’s rookie pass rusher made his presence felt early when he pushed off Denver right tackle Mike McGlinchey before sacking quarterback Russell Wilson for an 11-yard loss on the Broncos’ first drive of the game.
At the start of the third quarter, Anderson freely charged into the backfield for another sack. And later, he tipped a Wilson pass that ended up in cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.’s hands for an interception.
The Broncos’ offensive line was showered with praise after they contained edge rusher Myles Garrett and Cleveland’s elite pass rush in Week 12, allowing a sack and four hurries total.
