Official Texans @ Patriots Game Thread, 9/22/2016
The Texans play their first road game of the year on a trip to Foxboro, MA to play the New England Patriots in a Thursday Night Football game. The matchup pits two 2-0 teams and can be seen on CBS and the NFLN.
The Texans are coming off a 19-12 home win over the KC Chiefs. The Patriots are coming off a 31-24 home win over the Miami Dolphins. These two teams met last year in Week 14 with New England defeating the Brian Hoyer led Texans 27-6 at NRG stadium. The Patriots are expected to start rookie Jacoby Brissett at QB although Jimmy Garoppolo is reported to have participated in recent walk-through drills. The betting line has been jumping all over the place the last couple of days going from Texans -3 to Pickem. -------------------------------------------------------------- TV = CBS (channel 11 local) & NFLN, Thursday, 7:25 pm, Sept. 22 Announcers = Jim Nantz, Phil Simms The line = (currently) Pickem -------------------------------------------------------------- Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = Denver @ Cincinnati, Ian Eagle, Dan Fouts FOX (early) = Washington @ NY Giants, Joe Buck, Troy Aikman CBS (late) = San Diego @ Indianapolis, Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon --------------------------------------------------------------- Other Prime time: SNF = Chicago @ Dallas (NBC) MNF = Atlanta @ New Orleans (ESPN)

We have the stars aligned just right - Brady suspended, third-string QB on a short week, Gronk still questionable...
If ever there was a time to win in Fuxboro, it's now. C'mon Texans. Keep the Perfect Season Train rolling.

Texans are starting to show up #6 and #7 in some of the power rankings:
http://www.usatoday.com/sports/nfl/rankings/ http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/powerrankings/ Been a while since they've been rated that high. Of course, that'll all go down the tubes if they lose in New England.... ------------------------------------------------ Edelman reportedly seeing extensive work as backup QB...... ------------------------------------------------ Video - An explanation for the crazy line movement.... Recommend go to 3:30 mark for about 1:15 (4:45) and then jump to 7:40 for a breakdown of the game.
