@George,
As a Pats fan, I'm glad I watched it, though it was not at all exciting (to say the least) after the half. Also I now know a bit more about Houston's team too.
Texans seem to have a long way to go if they're going to try to make the playoffs. They were beaten basically by a team with a college QB that had one pre-season with Belichick (and no Gronk). Cripes! Is he
that different as a coach that he can transform such a team and then pitch a shut-out against an NFL team?
