Houston Texans vs New England Patriots All eyes will be on Will Fuller<\/a>\u00a0of the Houston Texans<\/strong> tonight. He took the league by storm in his first two games as a pro, and the New England Patriots<\/strong> will provide a great test for him. Fans should also keep an eye out for J.J. Watt<\/a>. The three time defensive player of the year\u00a0played in the first two games, but has been on a limited snap count. He will be a major factor in the Texans defensive game plan as they try to put pressure on rookie quarterback Jacoby Brissett<\/a>.\u00a0Brissett has his work cut out for him against the formidable Houston Texans defense.<\/p>\n Look for the Houston Texans defense to dial up a lot of blitzes when the Patriots are on offense. Putting pressure on the rookie Brissett, and forcing him to make errant decisions is essential. Furthermore, Rob Gronkowski<\/a> may make his season debut tonight<\/a>. If he does, expect him to be heavily leaned on in the passing game. Fellow tight end\u00a0Martellus Bennett<\/a> will be involved as well, but he will be in more of a blocking role.<\/p>\n While the Houston Texans defense is one to be reckoned with, they cannot win this game on their own. Brock Osweiler<\/a> and the offense will need to be on point as well. Look for the Texans to establish the run game with Lamar Miller<\/a> early on. With their linebacker\u00a0Dont’a Hightower<\/a> probably missing another game, the Patriots will be down a play-maker on defense.<\/p>\n Typically, Thursday Night Football games are far from great, but expect a good one tonight. The Houston Texans defense has been on fire, and that won’t be stopping anytime soon. Although they’re starting a rookie at quarterback, this is still the New England Patriots. The Texans will have to stay focused if they hope to leave Foxborough with a win.<\/p>\n
