Here are four matchups to watch tomorrow night as the Patriots take on the Texans.
1. J.J. Watt vs. Pats OL
J.J. Watt is probably the best defensive player in the NFL right now (although he is still incredibly overrated), and even though he will be dealing with a broken hand tomorrow, he is still a force to be reckoned with. Watt can play all four spots along the defensive line, so every single Patriots offensive lineman will have to work against him. Guard Josh Kline has been limited in practice this week with a shoulder injury, so if he is out, New England will have two rookies at the guard spots protecting Brady from Watt (Tre’ Jackson, Shaq Mason).
