As the six different double-digit sack seasons — and the quarterbacks often avoiding his chase — can attest, few players throughout league history have mastered the art of living up to their literal name as effectively as Texans edge rusher Danielle Hunter has. Eyeing prey in New England's first-year signal caller, Hunter, in a matter of just 3.06 seconds, forcefully detaches himself from the Patriots’ right tackle before engulfing the quarterback for a script-flipping strip-sack. Hunter’s sack, ultimately tracked as Week 6’s fastest QB takedown, fueled a touchdown by Houston’s offense just two plays later. Demonstrative throughout, the four-time Pro Bowler chalked up two tackles, one QB hit, one sack, and a forced fumble in the Texans’ 41-21 win on Oct. 13, 2024, moving them to 5-1.
