The Houston Texans take on the New England Patriots in the first preseason game for both sides Aug. 10 at Gillette Stadium.
The meeting will be the first time since Oct. 10, 2021, that Houston has played New England. The Patriots beat the Texans 25-22 at NRG Stadium in general manager Nick Caserio’s first meeting against his former team.
The last time the two sides met in preseason was Aug. 19, 2017, in the second week of preseason. Houston beat the Patriots 27-23 at NRG Stadium in what was then-Texans coach Bill O’Brien’s last exhibition meeting against his past and future team.
