So…here we are again. On the road in a divisional round game against a team the Houston Texans have struggled against historically in the playoffs.
We’re all too familiar with this scenario.
But the Texans have something this year that they haven’t in previous years: the most dominant defense in the NFL.
This is not Tom Brady’s Patriots. This is not Bill Belichick’s Patriots. This is a Patriots team that won 14 games against a last place schedule. This is a beatable team. It can happen.
And then all that stands in the way of the Texans first Super Bowl would be a trip to Denver. Oh, and Bo Nix is done for the rest of the season for the Broncos. Did I mention that?
It is not unthinkable that whoever wins today’s game has an inside track on getting to the Super Bowl now.
Here’s what you need to know to watch tonight’s game:
Who: Houston Texans (13-5) at New England Patriots (15-3)
What: Division Round
Where: Gillette Stadium – Foxborough, MA
When: Sunday January 18, 2:00 p.m. CST
Why: Because Denver can also be beaten if the Texans can take care of business today.
TV: ESPN (Joe Buck, Troy Aikman)
Radio: Westwood One
Streaming: ESPN*, Fubo*, Hulu + Live Sports*, NFL+*, SlingTV*, YouTubeTV* (*subscription required)
Enjoy the game, y’all.
May the way of DeMeco lead to the Super Bowl.
Go, Texans!
