Texans pass rushers honored among NFL's top duos for 2026 season

Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. of the Houston Texans have been recognized by CBS Sports as one of the most dynamic pass-rushing duos in the NFL entering the 2026 season. The two combined for 40 sacks and 83 quarterback hits over the past two seasons, making them a formidable presence on the Texans' defense. While they ranked behind offensive duos from the Los Angeles Rams and the Dallas Cowboys, they remained the only defensive pairing highlighted in the AFC. The duo played a critical role in the Texans achieving a top-two ranking in defense by scoring and yardage last year under head coach DeMeco Ryans. Their ability to complement each other could prove vital as they aim for continued success in the upcoming season.
