The Texans will travel to Gillette Stadium to face the New England Patriots for the AFC Divisional game on Saturday.
The Houston Texans beat the Oakland Raiders on Saturday and it didn't make a ripple.
If you're a CBS All Access subscriber, not only will you be able to stream Saturday's game between the Texans and Patriots, but you'll also be able to stream the AFC Championship game on January 22 (6: 40 p.m. ET, CBS). (Though it's worth noting that the AFC South had only one losing team.) They benched their quarterback with two games left in the season but are now stuck with him again. The only time they didn't allow 40 points was this past season when the Patriots won 27-0 in Week 3.
While Floyd has only played in two games for the Patriots since being claimed off waivers on December 15th, he has given New England a physical presence at wide receiver they have not seen in many years. It is that, as well as the most controversial one. "Every single play in the playoffs is a very, very important play". Then with less than 2:00 minutes to go in the game, Brady dropped back to pass and was hit by Charles Woodson. Perhaps the overconfidence of being a two-touchdown favorite will have Brady paying less-than-usual attention to the PSI of the game balls, and the Texans defense can take advantage of some overinflated footballs. It's going to have no bearing on how we'll go up there and how we feel because of what someone else said. He played pretty well against the Raiders, but, if you can do it against Tom Brady, talk about making your mark.

The Texans quarterback makes a few throws every game that give him the look of a $72 million passer. But the Texans defense is one of the best in football, so the Patriots are no locks to score a ton either. He did play well against them earlier, I don't think he's had a bad game this season, but now he's at home too.
"They can get after the quarterback, so they stop the run, play on their terms, get after the quarterback", Brady said.
The New England Patriots New England Patriots have plenty of reasons to be confident of their chances of reaching the 2017 Super Bowl.
"Like I said, they're trying to earn the right to be here next week and we're trying to do the same thing".
The Texans defense finished the season as the top-rated squad in the NFL. [With] his record - 16-2 regular season and 3-0 in the playoffs - it's going to be a tough challenge for Pittsburgh to come into Arrowhead and win.
Bettors can also get +110 on the prospect of Brady throwing an interception.
Recovering from double knee surgery has Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles contemplating the future.
After tearing his ACL in 2015, Charles was expected to return during the first half of 2016, but instead he ended up undergoing another procedure in November to have both knees cleaned up and sat out the entire season.
It's crucial to take Osweiler out of his comfort zone because the Texans struggle on third-and-long.
