"There are many connections between the Patriots and the Texans, mainly in the coaching staff, as many ex-Bill Belichick staffers are now in Houston. Although he only spent one season with the Texans, and it was cut short due to suffering an ACL tear midyear,"
"Adding to that is his performances in the biggest games of the Patriots' season, which seems to be when Josh McDaniels incorporates Diggs the most. They'll need that kind of production from the veteran going against a defense as tough as Houston's. Stefon Diggs could be another key to the Patriots' getting the best of the Texans' offense Before his season ended due to injury, Diggs started in eight games for Houston and recorded 47 receptions for 496 yards and three touchdowns."
Multiple coaching and personnel ties link the Patriots and Texans, with several former Bill Belichick assistants now in Houston. Stefon Diggs spent part of a season with the Texans before an ACL ended his year and retains inside knowledge of Houston's offensive concepts and some defensive tendencies. The Patriots signed Darrell Taylor after his 2025 time with the Texans, adding further familiarity. Diggs remains close with CJ Stroud but is not receiving game-plan information. Diggs has shown heightened usage in big games under Josh McDaniels and posted 47 catches for 496 yards and three touchdowns in eight starts, which could aid New England's postseason preparation.
