Facing the New England Patriots and Tom Brady is never an easy task, but for the Houston Texans they have to start out the regular season with maybe their toughest opponent of the season, playing the defending AFC champions on the road.
Granted, the Patriots aren’t unstoppable as they did lose the Super Bowl last season. The Texans in their first 10 meetings against New England the record isn’t stellar at all, coming in at 1-9 overall. With New England winning the past seven meetings, Texans head coach Bill O’Brien spoke about the upcoming game on Tuesday as he does have ties with the Patriots, coaching there for five seasons.
