Nov 24, 2024 at 02:45 PM

Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. combined for five first-half sacks, and Derek Barnett and Azeez Al-Shaair added one each as the Houston Texans set a franchise record for first-half sacks in their 32-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

The Texans' seven sacks included six in the second quarter alone.

Anderson Jr. and Hunter continued their run as one of the best set of defensive ends in the NFL this season, and the defense as a whole added three turnovers.

Jimmie Ward picked off Will Levis and took it back 65-yards for a touchdown and Mario Edwards added a fumble recovery. Kris Boyd also had a special teams turnover when he recovered a fumble.
