Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. breaks down infamous Patrick Mahomes 'flop' in playoff loss

Six months ago, Houston’s Texans defender Will Anderson Jr. made the headlines during the divisional tour against the Kansas City chiefs for a blow that seemed to promote the NFL poster.

Now he tells his side of the story.

In an interview on the Podcast Ross Tucker, Anderson confirmed the suspicions that turned the Texans’ fans at the Arowhead stadium, declaring his blow on the quarter-Arrière MVP Patrick Mahomes during the first quarter was clean.

“I hit his chest, I hit her chest, but I just have to be better,” Anderson told Tucker. “Me and my coach and we talked about it. We must be better just when you hit the quarter and we have to break him more and things like that.”

In the second journey of the match, the Texans tried to force a quick three and withdrawal. In the third and 8 years, Anderson brushed the chest of Mahomas while he released the pass, which should have caused a boot of clearance. Instead, Anderson was reported with an call for the passer, who nailed on 15 yards and placed Kansas City on the Houston territory.

“I don’t even know if you touched him or not, guy, he broke his head back as if he had a cervical boost in a car accident at 70 miles on time,” said Anderson.

The blow finally led to a score disc and a 23-14 defeat, although it is not even the most blatant call in the afternoon. Houston went back, bringing the match into an entrant to the fourth quarter. During another third down, Mahomes rushed to a first descendant and started to slip to avoid the contact of the defensive platform Foley Fatukasi and the second Henry in’oto’o.

The two Texans ended up colliding with each other, almost getting out of each other from the game, but the officials rather qualified him as unnecessary roughness penalty, nailed on 15 yards and a first test, which led to the pass of possible touchdown at the end of Travis Kelce several games later.

“I think it is for everyone’s safety … When these runners run, the quarters run and for defensive players, how we get the security on both sides of the ball to make the game safer for everyone,” said Anderson. “But as I said: we have to do a better work defensively on how we attack our platform and stuff like … our placement of the head. We will work on this off -season and repair it.”

As Anderson said, officials seek to protect quarters rather than focusing on appropriate games. Everything must be summed up in an exact science to avoid the flag of zebras.

“You have to be perfect in the playoffs,” said Anderson.
