EDGE Analysis

Hunter's sack came midway through the fourth quarter, when he brought down Geno Smith for a nine-yard loss.

That's tied for third in the NFL behind only Myles Garrett (22) and Brian Burns (15).

Hunter posted four tackles (two solo) and a defensed pass Sunday in a 20-10 victory over Kansas City.

The 31-year-old has tallied 5.0 sacks in his last two games, and he is now up to 31 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles in the Texans' first 10 contests. He's expected to remain one of the NFL's premier edge rushers in the Week 12 matchup against the Bills.

Hunter was a force to be reckoned with in the team's divisional battle with Jacksonville, notching a strip sack of Trevor Lawrence in the first quarter, but the fumble was ultimately recovered by the Jaguars. The defensive end added two more full sacks in the second and fourth quarters before combining with linebacker Henry To'oTo'o to bring down Lawrence with 27 seconds left in the game. The seven takedowns were a season high for Hunter, and he is now up to 27 total tackles (16 solo), including 7.5 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over nine contests this year.

Hunter didn't record any stats, while playing 20 defensive snaps in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Hunter accounted for both of Houston's sacks in the victory when he brought down rookie QB Cam Ward in the second quarter and again in the fourth.

He's now logged 14.0 sacks across 19 regular-season contests with Houston. Expect Hunter to continue starting opposite Will Anderson to form one of the league's most frightening pass-rush duos ahead of a Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars.
