Live Coverage: Patriots vs. Texans
The Patriots lead the Texans late in a snowy, sloppy playoff contest at Gillette Stadium.
The New England Patriots host the Houston Texans in the AFC Division game on Sunday afternoon.
The Patriots defense got a big boost with Christian Gonzalez, who suffered a concussion in New England’s wild card win over the Los Angeles Chargers, cleared protocol and is on the field Sunday.
The winner will advance to the AFC Championship, which will be hosted by the Denver Broncos on Jan. 25. The Broncos will be without starting QB Bo Nix.
The Texans, meanwhile, are without star wide receiver Nico Collins, who did not practice all week. Collins suffered a concussion late in the third quarter against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
