The Matchup – Patriots vs Texans

Date: Sunday, Sep. 9
Time: 1 p.m. ET
Location: Gillette Stadium – Foxboro, Massachusetts
TV: CBS

The Patriots are coming off a painful Super Bowl loss and hope to become the first team in decades to win the big game after losing it the prior year.

The Patriots’ home opener vs. the defensive-minded Houston Texans will prove an early test for both post-season minded clubs. The home team is light on receivers and offensive linemen for QB Tom Brady, but loaded with running backs. The visiting Texans are loaded on defense from the line to the secondary and are looking to promising sophomore QB Deshaun Watson (out much of last season with an injury) to lead an offense with postseason aspirations.

The Texans have taken the Patriots to the wire in their last regular and post-season matchups.

The Patriots will be facing fast pass-rushing standouts J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus with a reworked offensive line minus Left Tackle Nate Solder (now with the Giants) and Right Tackle Marcus Cannon, who has battled injuries in training camp.
