Patriots to Host Texans in Snowy AFC Divisional Showdown

The Patriots (15-3) host the Texans (13-5) in a pivotal AFC divisional game featuring the AFC's top offense against the league's best defense, with the winner advancing to the conference championship.

  • On Sunday, the Houston Texans travel to Foxborough, Massachusetts to face the New England Patriots in an AFC divisional game with a trip to the AFC championship at stake.
  • Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has matured since his first start against Houston, driving New England's rise from worst to first while the Texans rebounded from an 0-3 start into a 10-game winning streak.
  • New England's scoring attack meets Houston's stingy defense, as the Patriots boast the AFC's leading offense while the Texans rely on a dominant front four and a 22% blitz rate.
  • Turnover control will be pivotal for the Texans given Stroud's recent fumbles, which led to turnovers in their last game, impacting their chances of winning.
  • A Patriots or Texans win could lead to a Denver Broncos matchup en route to Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.
