The Patriots had chances to grab their second win of the season on Sunday, but poor execution and overall inept offense stood out in the 15-10 loss. Jacoby Brissett mustered just 160 passing yards as more fans and media call for rookie Drake Maye to take over under center. Mayo's QB decision hasn't been announced as of Monday.
As for the Texans, they are riding high at 4-1 after defeating the Buffalo Bills on a last-second field goal in Week 5. Stroud led Houston to the playoffs as a rookie last season, and the team looks even better in 2024. Despite injuries to key skill players Joe Mixon and Nico Collins, the Texans are always competitive with Stroud steering the ship.
