The Houston Texans took care of business on Sunday by convincingly beating the Patriots and rookie QB Drake Maye, 41-21.
CJ Stroud threw for 3 touchdowns and defensive end Will Anderson sacked Maye 3 times. It was also nice to see Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce have success running the ball after returning from injury.
However, the Texans will face a big challenge this Sunday when they head to Green Bay to face the Packers.
