The model projects the Patriots to be the 3rd-least pass-centric offense on the slate this week with a 50.4% pass rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.When it comes to pocket protection (and the importance it has on all passing game statistics), the offensive line of the Patriots grades out as the 5th-worst in the league this year.This year, the imposing Texans defense has conceded a feeble 18.0 adjusted receiving yards per game versus opposing TEs: the 2nd-best in the league.Since the start of last season, the stout Houston Texans defense has surrendered the 3rd-least adjusted yards-per-target in the NFL to opposing tight ends: a feeble 6.6 yards.
