The Houston Texans will enter Saturday’s bout with the Patriots as one of the largest underdogs in postseason history. The outcome of this playoff tilt could depend on whether or not quarterback Brock Osweiler and his bevy of weapons can match the tempo of Tom Brady and Company (probably not). Thankfully, the Texans can win this game not on offense, but on the strength of their number one defense.
Houston’s defensive line is one of the most dominant in the NFL, and their secondary boasts some of the league’s best numbers against the pass.
