Texans-Patriots Regular Season 2021: Schedule, Game Time, TV Channel, Radio, And Online Streaming

The New England Patriots have been the winningest franchise in sports for the last two decades. The Houston Texans, uh, haven’t been anything close to that. But the Texans have made clear they want nothing more than to breathe the same rarefied air Robert Kraft, Bill Belichick, and Tom Brady Cam Newton Mac Jones do. Hence Houston’s persistent insistence on importing anyone with Patriots ties to NRG Park.

While it might seem clear to outsiders that these attempts to duplicate “The Patriot Way” are destined for failure, Cal McNair is content to keep on keepin’ on, no matter what Albert Einstein (or Rita Mae Brown) says. At NRG Stadium on Sunday, we’ll have a front row seat to see how alike the Texans and Patriots really are. Here’s what you need to know to catch the game.
