Owen Daniels has said that the Houston Texans need to make the most of their chances in the red zone against the New England Patriots this weekend.

The Texans were unable to make the most of their opportunities when they faced the Patriots during the regular season.

The tight end told reporters: "When you face a team like New England that scores a lot of points, you have to take advantage of your opportunities down there.

"That will be a focus this week obviously. Something that we can definitely improve on, something that we can take away and improve on from this game.

"But I'm feeling pretty good about our defense right now with the way they're playing. Hopefully they bring that to the table next week."

The Texans beat the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday to book their place in the divisional round of the playoffs.
