Dominant despite loss
Hunter logged seven tackles (six solo), with 3.0 sacks, during Houston's loss to the Titans on Sunday. Hunter had a dominant outing despite the loss as he recorded a season-high 3.0 sacks. The 30-year-old has now compiled 10.5 sacks on the campaign, marking the third straight season that he's racked up double-digit sacks and the sixth time total across his nine-year career.
Gets pair of sacks Monday
Hunter recorded three tackles (three solo) including 2.0 sacks and a pass defensed during Monday's 34-10 win at Dallas. Hunter had an even greater impact on the Texans' win in Week 11 than the box score would suggest, as he was able to turn the corner on right tackle Terence Steele time and time again Monday. He now has six sacks over his last six games and will look to keep up that pace in Week 12 versus the Titans.
Dominant in close win
Hunter recorded two tackles (two solo) for 2.0 sacks during Sunday's 23-20 win versus the Colts. One of Hunter's two sacks Sunday came late in the fourth quarter on a third down to give Houston's offense the ball inside of the two-minute warning with a lead. It was his third game in a row with a sack, and he'll look to extend his streak in Week 9 against the Jets.
Registers 1.5 sacks vs. Chicago
Hunter finished Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears with five tackles (three solo), including 1.5 sacks. Hunter tallied his first sacks as a member of the Texans on Sunday. He split a sack with Will Anderson in the first quarter that forced the Bears to kick a field goal one play later, and Hunter had his own solo sack on Caleb Williams late in the fourth quarter that led to a turnover on downs two plays later. Hunter recorded double-digit sacks in five of the first eight seasons of his career in Minnesota, and he'll look to replicate that success in his new home in Houston. Hunter will face his old team, the Vikings, in Week 3.
Heading to Houston
Hunter is slated to sign a two-year deal with the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, one of the top available free agents on the market will have $48 million guaranteed over the course of the two-year deal. Hunter spent the first eight seasons of his career with the Vikings, going for double-digit sacks on five occasions, including a career-high 16.5 in the most recent campaign. He'll join a group of pass rushers in Houston that includes 2023 first-round pick Will Anderson and fellow offseason pickup Denico Autry, among others.
