Both the Saints and Texans played on the road last week and had very different games.
The Saints dominated the New England Patriots so thoroughly (34-0) that Patriot fans are questioning whether any player (or coach) is worth keeping next year. The Saints’ defense controlled the game thanks to 3 forced turnovers. The offensive side struggled as QB Derek Carr failed to throw for 200 yards and no running back reached 100 yards.
In Houston’s 21-19 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, the Texans led with less than 2 minutes. But Falcons QB Desmond Ridder threw for over 300 yards and marched down the field for a game winning field goal. Texans TE Dalton Schultz led Houston with 65 yards off 7 receptions and QB C.J. Stroud has yet to throw a pick.
