New England Patriots vs Houston Texans

It’s hard to believe that the New England Patriots have lost two straight games, especially with how hot of a start the team that Tom Brady built got off to. Starting the year 10-0 is grounds for people speculating a perfect season, but that was only to fall short six games early when New England dropped against the Denver Broncos and then the Philadelphia Eagles.

Brady will have his guys ready, with or without Rob Gronkowski. However, it’s pretty obvious that the loss of his favorite target has left something to be desired on offense.

As for the Houston Texans, a 2-5 start to the season with Brian Hoyer and Ryan Mallett alternating starts has turned into a 6-6 record through 12 games. Hoyer has looked solid over his last six games, throwing 13 touchdown passes to just four interceptions.

Houston has the talent to hand New England its third straight loss, especially with J.J. Watt putting pressure on Brady. If Watt can get into the backfield and make Brady feel uncomfortable, the Texans will have a solid shot of taking down the mighty Patriots at NRG Stadium.
