A four-time Pro Bowler, Tunsil has again been a rock on the Texans’ offensive line this season in the 13 games he’s suited up for. Anderson Jr., the third overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has seven sacks and 44 combined tackles.

The winner of Saturday’s showdown will clinch a postseason berth. If the Jacksonville Jaguars lose to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, then the Colts-Texans victor will take home the AFC South division crown.
