It is still time. The annual meeting between the Houston Texans and the New England Patriots begins Sunday at noon at NRG Stadium. Although these two reside in different divisions, the Texans will face the Patriots for the 12th time in 13 years. They have also met every year since 2009 (under three 2010, 2011 and 2014), including two playoff games at Gillette Stadium. The Texans ultimately reversed the winning streak over the Patriots, having won the last two in a row at NRG Stadium in 2019 and 2020.

However, these two teams are markedly different from what they were just under two years ago. These teams met in Week 13 on a Sunday night in 2019, and in that game the departure of the Texans RT Marcus Cannon was the departure of the RT Patriots. The 2019 Patriots had two starters set to start for the Patriots on Sunday. The Texans’ scheduled 2021 starting offense has just two players who started in that 2019 game. Both teams have a total of ten players who started that night. Remember, less than two years ago it could start in the same position. Ah, and the knockout ?? Both teams will both start rookie quarters. This game is expected to be sponsored by the late great David Bowie signing CH-CH-CH-CHANGES.

That said, the Patriots still have the best coach football has ever seen, prowling their sidelines, and they offered their best effort of the season in an ill-fated loss to the defending champions in the rain on Sunday night. latest. It’s never easy, no matter who wears the Patriots colors. So, let’s get to know Foe from Week 5 – the revamped New England Patriots.
