Mike Vrabel did not hesitate when asked about the challenge the Texans will present in Sunday’s divisional-round matchup at Gillette Stadium.
Will the Houston defense be the toughest that the Patriots have played this season?
“Yeah, of course,” Vrabel said. “I mean, they have great talent, great scheme, they play hard and I respect how hard they play. They’re not only talented, but they have a play demeanor that I can appreciate.”
The Texans have three AP All-Pro selections on defense. Edge rushers Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter made the first team and second team respectively Derek Stingley Jr.
