ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Boston College coach Bill O'Brien, with experience in both Texans and Patriots organizations, highlighted the importance of the line of scrimmage and ball security in the upcoming playoff game between the two teams, predicting a low-scoring contest influenced by weather conditions.
- Patriots rookie quarterbacks and running backs, including TreVeyon Henderson, have been key contributors, with Henderson leading the team in rushing yards, while the Texans' rookie Jayden Higgins, a former Patriots target, will play a crucial role in the Texans' offense.
- The Patriots' offensive line features two rookie starters on the left side, a rare occurrence in playoff history, and their performance against Houston's strong defensive front is seen as pivotal for New England's success.
