The Houston Texans have the quietest 10-game winning streaks in the NFL. Maybe that’s a sign of how good Drake Maye has been with the New England Patriots. This game will feature two of the best head coaches in the NFL.
DeMeco Ryans will have his hands full against Maye, who has done nothing but raise the level of talent around him. Maye is impossibly good at knowing when and where to attack a specific defense. The challenge for him today is the second-year pro is going up against a defense that rolls the ball out and says, “Our players are better than yours.”
The Texans have “dudes” all over the place. To me, they are the best team in the AFC. C.J. Stroud lost five fumbles last week and had a red zone interception. He couldn’t have possibly played worse. Houston’s defense overwhelmed the Steelers themselves.
If Stroud can hit the open receiver, the Texans should win this one. But Mike Vrabel is arguably the best situational coach in the NFL. He always seems to press the right button. For those who despise the Patriots, the Vrabel/Maye duo could be the start of another dynasty.
