Never count a Bill Belichick team out, as somehow the Patriots are still alive as they travel to Houston looking to bolster their playoff resume.
The Patriots (4-5) seek to return to .500 for the first time since Week 2 following their biggest win of the season over Baltimore thanks to a little help from Mother Nature and torrential rain. The recipe for victory this year has been pretty straight forward for New England. The Patriots are 4-2 when rushing for over 150 yards this year and are 54-3 since 2000 when a single rusher eclipses 100 yards on the ground. Damien Harris rushed for 121 yards on 21 carries against the Ravens, his third game this year with at least 100 yards.
The Texans’ (2-7) season is all but over after firing Bill O’Brien earlier in the year and only picking up a pair of wins over Jacksonville. Deshaun Watson has struggled to find much time in the pocket behind his offensive line despite the addition of Laremy Tunsil. Watson has been sacked 26 times. The Patriots should have a big day on the ground, as the Texans rank last in run defense.
Making matters worse, no matter how poorly Houston finishes out the season, Miami owns the rights to the Texans’ first-round pick thanks to the trade for Tunsil.
