Texans vs. Patriots Divisional Round Results According to Madden 26

According to Madden 26, the Houston Texans will defeat the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round 31-21.

The Texans' defense continues to dominate, helping the team win big games. LB E.J. Speed helped the defense earn their third touchdown in two weeks after picking off Drake Maye and returning it for a 21 Yd score. By the beginning of the second quarter, the team had a 13-0 lead, thanks to Ka'imi Fairbairn's two field goals.

The Texans went on to take a 20-0 lead after RB Woody Marks ran for an 18 Yd score. But New England quickly responded as RB Rhamondre Stevenson scored on a 1 Yd run the following drive.

However, the Patriots couldn't build on that success as they went silent again in the third quarter. Houston scored once more as C.J. Stroud found WR Jaylin Noel for a 13 Yd score. The team also converted the two-point conversion to take a 21-point lead.

The Patriots wasted no time going back down the field to score again. This time it was RB TreVeyon Henderson, who caught a 9 Yd touchdown pass from Drake Maye. Unfortunately for them, the Texans managed to waste another six minutes to score a FG and make it 31-14.

Maye ended up scoring once more in garbage time. The Patriots failed to recover the ball on the onside kick attempt, leading to a Houston victory. Despite the team's solid record and roster, they simply were not prepared for Houston's tough defense.

With the win, the Texans advance to the Conference Championship game to play against the Buffalo Bills or Denver Broncos.

Overall, that wraps up our Texans vs. Patriots Divisional Round Results according to Madden 26. We hope you enjoyed watching, stay tuned for more simulations in the future.

Note: We're looking to improve our simulations in a number of ways in the future. However, despite adjusting CPU and even Player sliders, it seems CPU vs. CPU games don't adhere to any of those changes. Furthermore, Madden 26's Rosters are messed up, with multiple players in the wrong positions. Nevertheless, we still want to improve these sims.
