    FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Texans offense started their Week 6 matchup against the New England Patriots rolling as running back Joe Mixon caught a 10-yard touchdown to go up 14-0.

    The Texans started the afternoon with a 11-play touchdown drive, capped by a touchdown pass from quarterback C.J. Stroud to wide receiver Tank Dell, his first receiving touchdown of the season.

    Stroud & Co. continued their hot start on their second drive after the defense forced a three-and-out. The offense took possession on the Patriots’ 45 yard-line and marched down to the 10-yard line in seven plays. Then Stroud dropped back and found Mixon in the flat and he ran into the end zone untouched.

    The Texans are without Nico Collins, who is the NFL leader in receiving yards (567) but was placed on injured reserve (hamstring) this week. But the offense hasn’t missed a beat to start.
