The Houston Texans did the seemingly impossible and got over the New England Patriots hump, at least for a night.
Houston defeated New England 28-22 in a potential playoff preview on Sunday at NRG Stadium. The Texans snapped an eight-game losing streak to the defending champions in the process and improved their all-time record against them to 2-10 thanks largely to Deshaun Watson's four touchdowns.
The Texans also maintained their sole position atop the AFC South at 8-4, which is one game ahead of the 7-5 Tennessee Titans.
As for New England, it is still 10-2 and one game ahead of the 9-3 Buffalo Bills in the AFC East even though it has been pedestrian at best since an 8-0 start.
