Fan anticipation grows as Patriots take on Texans on Sunday
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (WJAR) — The New England Patriots on Friday were two days away from a pivotal playoff game against the Houston Texans.
Thousands of fans will pack Gillette Stadium on Sunday as they watch the Pats host the Texans in the AFC divisional playoff round.
That’s something that hasn’t been able to be said in six years, which has fans on the edge of their seat waiting for kickoff.
It’s a great turnaround story this year. The Pats went from 4-13 to being a division-winning 14-3.

The game will be shown on Coastal ABC, channel 10.2 over the air and Channel 6 on most cable systems.
