The Houston Texans took a couple of hits to key contributors and front line starters before and during their Week 11 matchup with the New England Patriots at NRG Stadium.
Before the game, left tackle Laremy Tunsil was declared out with an illness. Swing tackle Roderick Johnson filled in for the Pro Bowler, and helped keep quarterback Deshaun Watson clean as he did not sustain a single sack throughout the 27-20 win.
As the encounter wore on, receiver Randall Cobb was hobbled with a foot injury, and slot receiver Keke Coutee took his place, even catching a 6-yard touchdown to put Houston ahead 21-10 with 2:10 to go until halftime.
