Time, TV program and how to watch online

The New England Patriots will have their hands full on Sunday with a head-to-head showdown against the Houston Texans at Gillette Stadium.

Houston appears to be on course for the playoffs with a 4-1 record, while the Patriots are 1-4 and are currently on a four-game losing streak. Admittedly, there’s even more excitement in New England this week as rookie quarterback Drake Maye is set to make his first start in the NFL.

The hope is that Maye can ignite the offense in a way the team hasn’t seen this season. He’ll have to do this against a ferocious Texas defense with one of the best pass rushes in the NFL. Can Maye overcome the Patriots’ offensive line woes and get the team back on track?

All eyes will be on as they take on the Texans in Week 6. Here’s how you can watch the game on Sunday:
