Coming off back-to-back losses, the New England Patriots will try to get back to the win column in a stadium that has been kind to them in the past: NRG Stadium in Houston, the site of two of the Patriots’ Super Bowl wins. Obviously, though, the dynasty days are long gone and Bill Belichick’s team has traveled south trying to get closer to .500 again.
Standing between them and a 2-3 record are the Houston Texans — themselves owners of a 1-3 record four weeks into the regular season. Neither team has played particularly impressive football so far this season, but there are quite a few differences between them.
