It won't show up in the stats so much, but Drake Maye's been impressive today. Hanging in there behind an overmatched OL. TD throw to Pop Douglas just now came with Danielle Hunter bearing down.
Dameon Pierce just got loose for a 54-yard TD run down the right sideline. Nobody needed that more than Pierce, who's playing his first game since the opener.
RT: Wins like today against the Patriots where CJ Stroud throws 3 touchdowns and Will Anderson Jr has 3 sacks make that 2023 draft-day trade look like a legitimate landmark turning point for the Texans franchise
RT: With week 6 ending, #Texans DL Denico Autry's suspension has ended. If healthy, he should return this week. Some reports said at the end of preseason and offseason that he was nursing an injury https://t.co/7moIbrqdDA
Pats can't cover Tank Dell or Stef Diggs for that matter through the first two series.
Davis Mills has replaced Stroud, who finishes with 20 of 31 (64.5 percent) for 192 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT and a 100.5 rating. He averaged 6.2 yards per attempt and was sacked two times for 16 yards.
What a great play by S Eric Murray! Anderson tipped Maye's pass at the line of scrimmage and Murray did a great job of making the catch while being blocked to give the Texans the ball at the Patriots' 26.
RT: No matter what happens moving forward Mario Edwards Jr. deserves a ton of credit for holding it down the way he has before Autry eventually gets in the rotation. His role may change, but dude stepped up big time during Autry 6-game suspension. #HTownMade
RT: Texans Injury Update: #0 LB Azeez Al-Shaair is out with a knee injury.
The Minnesota Vikings aren’t playing in Week 6, as they enjoy their Bye Week. What should Vikings fans do with their free Sunday? Watch more football, of course.
You may be asking yourself, “Who should I watch?” We have some options for you to consider. Vikings fans do a great job supporting players even after leaving the Vikings. Look at how they received Stefon Diggs this year when the Texans come to town.
We wanted to lay out the ultimate watch guide for Vikings fans in case there are some former Vikings they want to watch and support. There are so many across the NFL, but these are the ones who cut our list.
Despite overall offensive limitations this season, Houston Texans second-year quarterback C.J. Stroud isn’t slowing down. A week after throwing for over 300 yards in a victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Stroud sliced and diced the Buffalo Bills’ secondary with a 331-yard outing en route to a 23-20 win.
With that positive performance, Stroud rose from No. 11 to No. 9 in ESPN’s Total QBR rankings this week. ESPN gave Stroud a 78.4 Total QBR rating against the Bills, his best of the season.
Stroud’s traditional passer rating against Buffalo was 97.6, which actually represented one of his lower ratings of the year. It’s still a promising look, but far from the standard for the second-year target
Here we go... Drake Maye with a perfect deep ball to Kayshon Boutte for a 40-yard TD, the first of Maye's career. A glimpse into why he was the No. 3 pick: pic.x.com/TIftdls1oH
This is another contributing factor in why I would've waited another week to start Drake Maye. They're dropping him into a pit of rattlesnakes today. Texans have a shot to make it a two-possession game already.
@ByMarkDaniels: Jerod Mayo told @985TheSportsHub that the Patriots will start Ben Brown at center today. Brown was signed this week and practiced on Thursday.
"Change at center. Ben will start at center and we have a rookie quarterback. So, it should be interesting."
Dial with a hold on the return, erasing a nice gain by Marcus Jones. All in favor of finding ways to get Jones the ball, say aye.
Robert Kraft on the allegations against Jabrill Peppers, who is on paid leave: "If what was reported is true, he's gone." nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal...
Kayshon Boutte in the end zone. He's operating as the Patriots' No. 1 WR today - 85% of snaps (No other NE WR is over 58%)
Michael Jordan down on the turf. Don't be a captain for this team, and don't be an offensive lineman.
About 16 hours after Tyquan Thornton posted "take things personally" on his Instagram stories, he is inactive today. My guess is he knew it was coming. Played just one snap last wekk.
Vederian Lowe got his right leg rolled up on after the sack. He hobbled off.
"You gotta learn a lot. A lot of teams have been in this situation and crawled their way out." - Hunter Henry on the 1-5 start. "We can turn this around if we want. I think we have a good locker room..."
The New England Patriots released their Week 6 inactives ahead of Sunday’s game against the Houston Texans.
Veteran linebacker Sione Takitaki is set to make his first official start for the Patriots, while wide receiver Tyquan Thornton is a healthy scratch for the game.
The Patriots have struggled to slow down the ground game with Ja’Whaun Bentley and Christian Barmore out of the lineup. There’s hope that adding another viable linebacker like Takitaki to the mix will provide a boost to the run defense
