Texans Defensive End Has High Praise For Justin Herbert Amid Rough Season

Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. spoke highly of Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert ahead of their Sunday matchup, despite Herbert's rough season. Anderson acknowledged Herbert's abilities as a "really great quarterback" who possesses a strong arm, can run, and throws deep. He also noted that Herbert remains a valuable player in the league.

However, Herbert has struggled this year, leading the NFL in interceptions with a 4.7% rate and averaging under 200 passing yards for the first time in his career. Additionally, he has the most total fumbles in the league at seven, though he only lost two. The Chargers as a whole have lost more fumbles and turnovers than any other team, ranking 26th in the league in rushing touchdowns and 21st in yards per carry.

Anderson also praised the Chargers' running backs, stating that the Texans' defense will find their challenge in their matchup. The Chargers' struggles on both sides of the ball have put them in a difficult position at the start of the season, and a win against the Texans could provide much-needed momentum. The game is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. PT.
