Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. expressed his frustration with the officiating in Saturday’s playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Anderson’s comments came after the Texans’ season-ending 23-14 defeat.
“We knew it was going to be us versus the refs going into this game,” Anderson said in a post-game interview. His statement suggests that the Texans anticipated a challenging game from the officials.
Anderson had previously spoken to the media earlier in the week, emphasizing the importance of his team doing what’s better. However, he acknowledged that the Texans didn’t always meet that standard during the game.
“I talked to you guys earlier this week, and I was just telling them we got to go out there and do what’s better,” Anderson recalled. “In some instances, we didn’t do that. In some instances, we did.”
Anderson’s comments on the officiating were likely influenced by the eight penalties called against the Texans during the game. Two of those penalties were against Anderson himself, as well as his former Alabama teammate, linebacker Henry To’oTo’o.
The Texans’ playoff loss marked the end of their season, and Anderson’s comments reflected the team’s disappointment and frustration. Despite the challenging game, Anderson took ownership of the Texans’ mistakes and acknowledged that they needed to improve.
Anderson’s post-game comments provided insight into the Texans’ mindset going into the game and their reaction to the officiating. As the team looks to the future, Anderson’s words emphasize the importance of learning from their mistakes and doing better in the years to come.
