Texans Offense Explodes in 41-21 Win Over Patriots
The Houston Texans’ offense was on fire in their Week 6 win over the New England Patriots, scoring 41 points in a game that saw the return of running back Joe Mixon. Mixon had been out since Week 2, but he made his presence known with 102 yards rushing on 13 carries and a touchdown.
A Team Effort
The Texans’ offense was a well-oiled machine, with multiple players contributing to the team’s success. Wide receiver Tank Dell scored his first touchdown of the season, while Stefon Diggs led the team in receiving yards with 77. Quarterback Stroud threw for 192 yards and three touchdowns, a season high.
Overcoming Adversity
The Texans were without wide receiver Nico Collins, who was placed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. However, the team didn’t let his absence hold them back. “We have a lot of horses in the stable,” Diggs said, referring to the team’s depth at receiver.
A Strong Running Game
The Texans’ running game was a key factor in their success, with Mixon and backup Dameon Pierce combining for 178 yards on the ground. The team finished with 192 rushing yards, a significant improvement from their previous games.
A Statement Win
The Texans’ win over the Patriots was a statement victory, showcasing the team’s strength and resilience. With a 5-1 record, the Texans are off to their best start since 2012 and have a two-game cushion over the Colts in the AFC South.
Looking Ahead
The Texans will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 7, a game that promises to be a tough test for the team. However, with their offense firing on all cylinders, the Texans are confident in their ability to come out on top. As Stroud said, “Once everybody took on the challenge, we started rolling, and we didn’t feel bad for ourselves that Nico wasn’t out there. We just tried to pick up the slack and really just be there for one another.”
