Official Texans vs. Patriots Game Thread, 12/1/2019
The 7-4 Houston Texans will host the 10-1 New England Patriots this Sunday night in prime time. Last time we saw the Texans, they edged out the Indianapolis Colts 20-17 on a TNF game. The Patriots are coming off defeating the Dallas Cowboys 13-9 in the driving rain in Foxboro. The Texans are 1-8 (0-2 in the playoffs) all time vs. the Pats. Bill O'Brien is 0-5 vs. Bill Belichick.
The way I see it, the Patriots should be able to score on the Texans 25th rated pass defense and 20th rated overall defense. The question will be, can the Texans keep up against the #2 rated Pats defense? It will be interesting to see how it plays out, but until the Texans can show they can get the job done, I see it going the Patriots way.... Patriots 30, Texans 20 ------------------------------------------------------------------- TV = NBC (channel 2 local), 7:20 pm, Sunday, December 1, 2019 Announcers = Al Michaels, Cris Collinsworth The line = Patriots by 3 to 3½ ------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday football: Thanksgiving Early: Chicago @ Detroit (FOX) Thanksgiving Late: Buffalo @ Dallas (CBS) Thanksgiving Night: New Orleans @ Atlanta (NBC) ------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Sunday viewing in the Houston area: CBS (early) = Tennessee @ Indianapolis, Kevin Harlan, Rich Gannon FOX (early) = San Francisco @ Baltimore, Kevin Burkhardt, Charles Davis CBS (late) = Oakland @ Kansas City, Jim Nantz, Tony Romo ------------------------------------------------------------------- MNF = Minnesota @ Seattle (ESPN) ------------------------------------------------------------------- All the Sunday games should be interesting. Bye weeks are complete - full 16 game schedule the rest of the year.

Is this the first time Watson had played against New England? I know the last playoff game between the two was when Osweiler was our QB (and he wasn't half bad - there just wasn't enough talent around him).
Per ESPN: Watson is 0-2 against Patriots but the losses were 36-33 @ NE (2017) and 27-20 @ NE (2018). Both of those were September games on the road. This will be his first game hosting the Patriots.

A little preview of what we're up against:
Tripping penalties in the NFL are rare but the Cowboys were called twice in New England and the league later admitted that neither were correctly called. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/n...e-been-called/

I had a bad weekend everywhere in my picks. Let's see if these Texans can give a lift (only to shatter it further down the line)....

Oooh, nice! On 3rd and 4, Roby INT's Brady and takes to the 6 yard line of the Pats but draws an unsportmanlike for taking his helmet off. Texans ball at the Pats 21.
Watson finds Duke Johnson coming out of the backfield for the 14-yard TD! Texans 7, Pats 3 38 seconds left in the 1st qtr.

Booming punt gives the Pats the ball at their 31 with 1:05 left in the half. They have two timeouts.
Pats will receive the second half kickoff so they will probably have two straight possessions in a row.... Pats have a pass on the sideline ruled a completion but shows up iffy on replay. OB uses a timeout to get them to review it.... Ruling stands. Pats at the Texans 39 with 41 seconds left. Defense holds 'em. Pats punt to the Texans 5 with 15 seconds left. Texans kneel it. Texans 14, Pats 3 Halftime.

Watson hits Fuller deep for a 35-yard TD but it's gonna get reviewed....
And it gets overturned. No catch. 3rd and 10 coming up for the Texans.... Watson comes right back to hit Stills in the end zone for the TD! Texans 21, Pats 3 5:41 left in the 3rd qtr.
