Texans DE Will Anderson Jr. annihilates Aaron Rodgers for defensive TD

That might be enough for the Houston Texans to advance to the divisional round to take on the New England Patriots next Sunday evening.

The Texans lead 17-6 after Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers was strip-sacked by All-Pro Will Anderson Jr. on third down, resulting in a 33-yard scoop-and-score from Sheldon Rankins to extend a 10-6 lead.

With a win, the Texans would travel to Gillette Stadium to take on the No. 2 seed Patriots. Should they win, a chance to host a playoff game is still in reach, should Buffalo defeat the No. 1 seed Denver on Saturday.
