The Houston Texans (7-4) are facing their toughest opponent left on their regular-season schedule against the New England Patriots (10-1). Texans will host the Patriots in NRG Stadium for the opportunity to give the Patriots their second loss of the season after having their eight-win streak snapped against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 9.
The Patriots continue to be one of the better teams in the NFL with Tom Brady entering his 20th season in the league. Texans have ten players listed on their injury report for their AFC battle against the Patriots.
Safeties Justin Reid and Mike Adams were listed as full participants in practice after missing the Indianapolis Colts game in Week 12 with a concussion.
