TEAMS: Houston Texans, New England Patriots
TEAMS: Houston Texans, New England Patriots
After an interesting week leading up to the Wild Card round for the Houston Texans, the Texans were able to keep the Cincinnati Bengals from cutting their season short with a 19-13 victory. With the fans in an uproar after a December to forget, the Texans will be traveling to Foxborough and taking on the New England Patriots in a rematch from week 14′s embarrassment for the Texans.
Despite the negativity surrounding the team, the Texans have a chance to silence all their doubters with the Patriots’ rematch this coming Sunday. The odds are already stacked against the Texans and the national media is making this game all about the Patriots. The best thing for the Texans is the idea that no one is giving them a chance to even be in the same stadium with the home team.
With the upcoming game, there are a few underlying stories that should have the Texans’ attention moving forward.
- The hit that tight end Garret Graham took from Bengal’s linebacker Vontaze Burfict to ice the game may be...

The Patriots opened as 9.5-point favorites as they host the Houston Texans in the Divisional Round of the AFC playoffs.
