The Houston Texans entering this game ranked 25th against the pass, 31st on third down and 32nd in the red zone, so look for Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense to break out in a major way in this Sunday night matchup.

With both Mohamed Sanu and Phillip Dorsett expected to play, this will be the first time in a while the Patriots will have just about all of their offensive weapons available.

This means things will open up for James White who has been relatively quiet lately in the passing game. Whether its screen plays, draws or quick throws on third down, White will get the targets in this game. There may be a wheel route or two to really challenge the Texans linebackers and their secondary play.

In all, there will be big plays there for James White against 20th ranked Houston Texans defense. All it will take is execution for the Patriots versatile running back who is overdue for a big offensive game.
