The Houston Texans have established themselves as the team to beat in the AFC South through five weeks, sitting comfortably atop the division with a 4-1 record. Their nearest competitors, the Indianapolis Colts, are two games back at 2-3, giving Houston a solid early-season cushion. As they prepare to take on the struggling New England Patriots (1-4) this week, all eyes will be on the Texans—on and off the field.
While the Patriots look to ignite the Drake Maye era, the Texans are dealing with some unexpected drama. Stefon Diggs has gone silent on social media, fueling rumors surrounding his personal life just days before the game. The player’s decision to shut down his social media accounts has only added to speculation that something more significant might be happening behind the scenes.
Despite the off-field distractions, Houston will aim to continue their impressive run and maintain control of the division. With the Patriots struggling and the Texans riding high, this could be a crucial week for Houston to further cement their dominance in the AFC South. Keep an eye on how this situation unfolds, as it could either serve as a rallying point for the Texans or a distraction heading into a pivotal stretch of the season.
