Texans cornerback fined for unsportsmanlike conduct
No NFL fines for Texans’ Will Anderson Jr, Henry To’oTo’o for hits on Patrick Mahomes, Kris Boyd fined for helmet tossKansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is sacked by Houston Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. , right, as Chiefs guard Joe Thuney assists during the first half of an NFL football AFC divisional playoff game Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025, in Kansas City, Mo. defensive end Will Anderson Jr.
It was Anderson, who sacked Mahomes twice without flags and who was penalized in the second quarter for a high hit on the former NFL Most Valuable Player toward his neck and the bottom of his facemask as he threw incomplete to tight end Travis Kelce. “I think people think that’s easy and it’s not for huge bodies to stop. We just have to keep playing. We can’t worry about the calls. We can’t worry about the officiating. We have to play our brand of ball.”
And Schaffer weighed in on social media, too, writing: “NFL needs to treat its players with more respect. Just saying.”Former Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh wrote on social media: “Why play the game if every 50/50 call goes with the Chiefs. These officials are & bias.” “Seeing the play from Boyd, we gave up the long run to start the game, which is not what we wanted to do, missed a couple tackles there,” Ryans said Monday. “Looking at it again, you see Boyd gets the ball out, and I think he thought that we recovered the ball and that he made a big-time play to get the ball back for our teams. It’s something we talked about for our special teams going into this game, is like, ‘Let’s affect the game by getting the ball.
“I was just too excited,” Boyd said. “I did something I shouldn’t have done. I shouldn’t have done it, keep my helmet on.”
