Stevenson carried the ball 16 times for 70 yards and caught all four of his targets for 11 yards in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round.

Despite leaving the game briefly due to an eye injury, Stevenson led New England in carries as well as rushing and scrimmage yards. The fifth-year RB has yet to get into the end zone in two playoff games, but he's still made an impact with 209 scrimmage yards. Stevenson should have a significant role in the offense again next weekend in Denver for the AFC Championship Game.

Maye completed 16 of 27 passes for 179 yards and three touchdowns with one interception in the Patriots' 28-16 win over the Texans in the divisional round. He added 10 rushing yards on four carries but committed four fumbles, losing two.

In cold. wet conditions at Foxborough, ball security was the story of the day as the teams combined for eight turnovers. However, Maye was able to overcome his mistakes, hitting DeMario Douglas, Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte for scores to book New England's ticket for the AFC Championship Game. Maye has a 4:2 TD:INT through his first two career playoff games but has lost three fumbles, and he might need to tighten things up in Denver next weekend if he's going to get his team to the Super Bowl.

Hutchinson caught four of 13 targets for 44 yards in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday.

With Nico Collins (concussion) sidelined, Hutchinson wound up leading the Texans in targets, although he didn't do much with that volume. The third-year wideout hadn't seen more than nine targets in a game during the regular season, and that only came in Week 18, as he compiled a 35-428-3 line on 57 targets over 17 games. Hutchinson will head into next season behind Collins, Jayden Higgins and potentially Jaylin Noel on the depth chart, even before accounting for any offseason additions to the WR room.

Forbes (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Bears, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

Forbes likely suffered his shoulder injury when he was run over by Bears running back Kyle Monangai in the first quarter, and his status for the rest of the contest is now up in the air. In his absence, Roger McCreary and Josh Wallace are both candidates to see an increase in workload at cornerback versus Chicago.

Kirk caught two of six targets for 20 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday.

The veteran wideout couldn't repeat his massive performance from a wild-card win over the Steelers, but Kirk did hit paydirt for a second straight playoff game, hauling in a 10-yard toss from C.J. Stroud in the second quarter. Those two playoff TDs are more than he managed in the entire regular season, when he posted a disappointing 28-239-1 line on 52 targets over 13 games. Kirk will be a free agent in the offseason, and he'll likely be playing for his third team in three seasons in 2026.

Higgins caught six of 10 targets for 59 yards in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday.

The rookie wideout led Houston in catches and receiving yards with Nico Collins (concussion) unavailable, but it was Christian Kirk who caught C.J. Stroud's only TD pass of the day. Higgins put together a respectable rookie season after being a second-round pick out of Iowa State, playing all 17 regular-season games and posting a 41-525-6 line on 68 targets. With Kirk a free agent this offseason, Higgins may have shown enough to dissuade the Texans from bringing in veteran competition for the No. 2 receiver role.

Marks carried the ball 14 times for 17 yards and caught two of three targets for 19 yards during the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Houston couldn't get much of anything going on the ground, and Marks' turnover was one of five by the Texans and eight in total by both teams in cold, wet conditions at Foxborough. Marks went the entire regular season without losing a fumble, so ball security shouldn't be an issue for him in 2026, and the fourth-round pick out of USC had a successful rookie campaign with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 16 regular-season games. It remains to be seen whether the Texans will look to expand his role next year or bring in a back more adept at running between the tackles to work in tandem with Marks.

Stroud completed 20 of 47 passes for 212 yards and a touchdown with four interceptions in the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday. He added 11 rushing yards on two carries.

The two teams combined for eight turnovers in cold, wet conditions at Foxborough, and Stroud accounted for half of them, including a pick-six by Marcus Jones in the second quarter. It was a disappointing end to a promising year for Houston, but Stroud's seven giveaways in two playoff games will be a big point of discussion during the offseason. The QB ended his third NFL campaign with 3,041 passing yards and a 19:8 TD:INT during 14 regular-season games while completing a career-high 64.5 percent of his passes.

Davis (head) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's divisional-round contest against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Davis took a blow to the head in the second half, ultimately bringing his day to a premature end. In his absence, Charles Woods will operate in a more significant role in New England's secondary.

Stover (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's divisional-round matchup with the Patriots.

Stover suffered a knee injury early in the fourth quarter, and he will now be forced to miss the remainder of the game. With Dalton Schultz (calf) already done for the day, Harrison Bryant will now operate as the team's top tight end against New England.
