New England Patriots Vs Houston Texans Game Day Preview

New England Patriots Vs Houston Texans

Despite a pair of close calls the past two weeks, the New England Patriots remain tied for the best overall record in football and set an NFL mark last week by posting their 17th consecutive season with 10 wins. Holding the No. 1 seed in the AFC, the Patriots have a chance to wrap up a playoff spot when they visit the Houston Texans on Sunday night.

New England has dominated the series with Houston, winning eight in a row (playoffs included), but eight players missed practice Wednesday due to flu-like symptoms sweeping through the locker room. “We had guys come in, you’d look in their eyes and you could just tell they were out of it,” safety Devin McCourty said. “Hopefully a day at home, with meds and rest, helps guys out.” Texans coach Bill O’Brien, who has his team sitting atop the AFC South, was a former assistant with the Patriots and knows what he is up against, losing all five matchups against mentor Bill Belichick. “We have a lot of respect for the Patriots,” O’Brien said. “I’m very grateful to Bill for the opportunities he gave me, and then, obviously, I have a lot of close friends on the staff over there that I worked with.”

Patriots

Defense continues to carry New England, which scored a combined 30 points in back-to-back victories over Philadelphia (17-10) and Dallas (13-9). Playing in miserable, rainy conditions, Tom Brady completed a season-worst 45.9 percent of his passes in last week’s win over Dallas while going with two rookies at wide receiver, although Julian Edelman had eight catches for 93 yards — the sixth time in seven games he had at least seven receptions. Sony Michel had 85 yards rushing on 20 carries but has yet to hit 100 this season. The Patriots lead the league in points allowed (10.6) and interceptions (20) while ranking second versus the pass (158.0 yards).

Texans

Like New England, Houston was shredded at Baltimore before rebounding with a 20-17 win over Indianapolis in a showdown for division supremacy as Deshaun Watson threw for 298 yards with two scores and one interception. Speedster Will Fuller returned from missing more than a month with a hamstring injury and had seven receptions for 140 yards while DeAndre Hopkins hauled in a pair of touchdown passes and has 57 catches over his past seven games. Carlos Hyde has been solid if unspectacular, rushing for at least 60 yards in six of seven games to move within 164 of 1,000. The Texans are vulnerable through the air, ranking 25th at 259.3 yards per game.

Patriots & Texans Sunday Facts

1. Brady has 1,548 passing yards with 16 touchdowns and two interceptions in the last five versus Houston.

2. Watson has thrown for 1,003 yards with 10 TDs and one pick in his last three at home.

3. Patriots WR Phillip Dorsett was cleared from the league’s concussion protocol on Wednesday.
