HOUSTON -- In the waning moments of the Houston Texans' Week 8 win over Indianapolis, Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson lined up on his team's 49-yard line ready to launch a Hail Mary.
Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. stood and placed his wrists on his lower back while tilting his head backwards gasping for air, having played 49 of the Colts' 62 offensive snaps up to that point. Coach DeMeco Ryans called a timeout to communicate to the defense what the plan was, which gave Anderson a quick breather.
But as tired as Anderson was, he remembered one teaching point from Danielle Hunter, his veteran pass rush partner.
