Texans vs. Patriots: Who has the advantage at every position?
The offensive line advantage belongs to …
Let’s keep this one short. The Houston Texans offensive line has seen drastic improvement after the franchise-altering trade with the Miami Dolphins that brought Laremy Tunsil to town, but moving up from worst in the league isn’t too hard to accomplish.
The offensive line as a whole has solidified due to mostly good health, yet first round pick Tytus Howard is being placed on IR due to a lingering meniscus injury, so that does hurt the improvement and overall production of the offensive line, especially at right tackle.
The Texans have allowed 33 sacks on this season, but the rushing game has taken major strides. Alternatively, the Patriot offensive line has only seen 17 sacks come through them, and quarterback Tom Brady has more time to throw than just about anybody in the entire NFL. New England captures its first category when it comes to comparing the offensive lines of each team.
