Card Round.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots have won 14 of their past 15 games, while Houston is riding the league's longest winning streak at 10 games.<\/p>\n<p>Both teams are coming off dominant defensive performances.<\/p>\n<p>Houston has had one of the best defenses in the NFL, leading the league in success rate (63.9%) and allowing the fewest points per drive (1.46).<\/p>\n<p>Houston has allowed points on 27% of opponent possessions, the lowest rate in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans pulled ahead late on Monday with 2 defensive touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p>Houston has forced a takeaway on 14.8% of opponent possessions (4th) and has scored 103 points off turnovers (4th).<\/p>\n<p>New England does not get a lot of love, but they invested heavily in their defense this offseason, and the results have shown.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots have allowed 1.72 points per drive (5th) and have allowed opponents to score on 31.1% of their possessions (3rd).<\/p>\n<p>New England won a game that wasn't all about their offense or <strong>Drake<\/strong> <strong>Maye<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots take a lot of flak for their schedule, but they did post 381 yards against the Chargers on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>That was the third-most yards the Chargers allowed all season, and the most they surrendered in a game since Week 7.<\/p>\n<p>Houston\u2019s defense is another rung higher than the one they faced a week ago.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, there is a greater divide, and this matchup between the New England and Houston defense becomes the most compelling component of the game.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots are fourth in offensive success rate (45.9%) while Houston is 28th (39.1%).<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots have reached third down on 41.6% of their downs (3rd lowest), compared to Houston's 49.7% (26th).<\/p>\n<p>New England leads the NFL with 22.3% of its plays gaining 10 or more yards and a league-high 8.1% gaining 20 or more yards.<\/p>\n<p>The Houston defense has allowed a gain of 10 or more yards on 17.3% of opponent plays (6th), but has allowed a gain of 20 or more yards on 5.5% of opponent plays (14th).<\/p>\n<p>Both offenses are below the fold in the red zone, which could be the deciding factor if this game is low-scoring and tight, as both of their games last week were.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots are 21st in red zone touchdown rate (54.5%) while Houston is 29th (47.4%).<\/p>\n<h2>Quarterback<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Drake Maye: <\/strong>In his first career playoff game, Maye completed 17 of 29 passes (58.6%) for 268 yards (9.2 Y\/A) with a touchdown and an interception.<\/p>\n<p>He added 66 yards rushing and also lost a fumble.<\/p>\n<p>Maye faced his most formidable pass defense of the season on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p>We did see an impact as Maye\u2019s 42.2% success rate was his third-lowest of the season and his lowest since Week 10.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots ran their lowest rate of play action (10.3%) on Sunday night, while Maye also had his highest dropback rate from the pocket (82.1%) in a game this season.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Maye did throw 268 yards, which was the second-most passing yards the Chargers have allowed this season.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots also had a 10.3% drop rate, their highest in a game this season.<\/p>\n<p>Even with resistance, Maye found his way to enough plays to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>He and this passing game will be rechallenged this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Houston has allowed a 58.9% completion rate (3rd), 6.4 yards per pass attempt (4th), and a 3.5% touchdown rate (6th).<\/p>\n<p>The Texans have allowed more than 2 touchdown passes in one game this season.<\/p>\n<p>Their resume is solid as well, facing <strong>Josh<\/strong> <strong>Allen<\/strong>, <strong>Matthew<\/strong> <strong>Stafford<\/strong>, <strong>Trevor<\/strong> <strong>Lawrence<\/strong> (x2), <strong>Sam<\/strong> <strong>Darnold<\/strong>, <strong>Patrick<\/strong> <strong>Mahomes<\/strong>, <strong>Daniel<\/strong> <strong>Jones<\/strong>, <strong>Justin<\/strong> <strong>Herbert<\/strong>, <strong>Bo<\/strong> <strong>Nix<\/strong>, and <strong>Baker<\/strong> <strong>Mayfield<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Not everyone there is squeaky clean, but that is a good resume for the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n<p>The most passing yards they allowed before pulling Week 18 starters was 253 yards to Allen.<\/p>\n<p>If Maye has had one consistent bugaboo this season, it has been holding the football.<\/p>\n<p>Maye averages 2.91 seconds after the snap per throw (28th).<\/p>\n<p>He has thrown the ball within 2.5 seconds of the snap on 34.7% of his dropbacks, 31st in the league.<\/p>\n<p>Maye can create with his legs.<\/p>\n<p>He has 489 scrambling yards, which is tied for the most in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Houston has allowed 19.0 scrambling yards per game (25th).<\/p>\n<p>That has also led to some negative plays.<\/p>\n<p>When pressured, Maye has a 25% sack rate, which is 27th in the league.<\/p>\n<p>That is the highest rate of any quarterback in the postseason.<\/p>\n<p>He took 5 sacks on Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Maye has a 14.3% sack rate when holding the ball for more than 2.5 seconds, which ranks 27th in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans are fourth in pressure rate (41.7%) and seventh in sack rate (8.2%).<\/p>\n<p>Holding the football against Houston has not led to good results.<\/p>\n<p>When opponents have held the ball longer than 2.5 seconds from the snap against Houston, they have allowed a 46.7% completion rate (2nd), 6.7 yards per pass attempt (3rd), and have a 15% sack rate (4th).<\/p>\n<p>For whatever it is worth, Maye\u2019s first career start did come against this Houston defense last season with a far inferior offense than this version.<\/p>\n<p>In that game, Maye completed 20 of 33 passes (60.6%) for 243 yards (7.4 Y\/A) with 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions, rushing 5 times for 38 yards.<\/p>\n<p>He also lost a fumble but managed to find his way to 19.5 fantasy points.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C.J. Stroud: <\/strong>Stroud was not at his best on Monday night in Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n<p>He completed 21 of 32 passes (65.6%) for 250 yards (7.8 Y\/A) with a touchdown, but he threw an interception in the red zone while fumbling 5 times (losing 2).<\/p>\n<p>That was uncharacteristic.<\/p>\n<p>Stroud had 2 fumbles during the regular season, and that was his 1st interception in the red zone all year.<\/p>\n<p>We have talked about this all season, but all of Stroud\u2019s spike weeks for fantasy purposes came in clear spots.<\/p>\n<p>He had three 20-point games, coming against an injury-ravaged Baltimore team in Week 5, San Francisco, and Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>He cleared 15 points in two other games, coming against the Titans and the Colts in the regular-season finale.<\/p>\n<p>Houston is not expected to have <strong>Nico Collins<\/strong> for Sunday due to his second concussion this season.<\/p>\n<p>For his career, Stroud has seen a drop across the board without Collins, posting a 61.4% completion rate (65.4% with him on the field), 7.4 yards per attempt (7.6), 3.2% touchdown rate (4.7%), and a 1.9% interception rate (1.6%).<\/p>\n<p>After Collins left the game on Monday, Stroud did go 6 of 8 for 145 yards (18.1 Y\/A), but he did throw that interception.<\/p>\n<p>To potentially balance the scales, the Patriots may not have <strong>Christian Gonzalez<\/strong>, who is also in concussion protocol.<\/p>\n<p>With Gonzalez off the field this season, the Patriots have allowed a 69.4% completion rate (31st), 7.7 yards per pass attempt (28th), and a 4.9% touchdown rate (19th).<\/p>\n<p>With Gonzalez available, the Patriots have allowed a 65% completion rate, 6.2 Y\/A, and a 4.3% touchdown rate.<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots may not have faced the league\u2019s best schedule this season, but where does this version of the Houston passing offense fall on that spectrum?<\/p>\n<p>Although I do not believe the New England defense is bad, given their roster, the Patriots were not overly challenged by opposing quarterback play this season.<\/p>\n<p>Over their past 14 games, the only Week 1 starters that New England has faced for a full game have been <strong>Josh<\/strong> <strong>Allen<\/strong> (x2), <strong>Spencer<\/strong> <strong>Rattler<\/strong>, <strong>Cam Ward<\/strong>, <strong>Michael<\/strong> <strong>Penix<\/strong>, <strong>Baker<\/strong> <strong>Mayfield<\/strong>, <strong>Justin<\/strong> <strong>Fields<\/strong>, <strong>Jaxson<\/strong> <strong>Dart<\/strong>, and <strong>Justin<\/strong> <strong>Herbert<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\t<div class='sfa-image-adds' style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\">\n\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.sharpfootballanalysis.com\/newsletter\/'>\n\t\t<img decoding=\"async\"
