Interesting that everyone thinks the Patriots played beneath themselves against the Texans. Oh, sure, Bill Belichick agrees, but he would find fault in a 46-16 win, methinks. New England "only" won 34-16. Look across that roster, man. Where are the big names? Outside of Tom Brady, New England's made up of many good players who are well-coached and work in cohesion. The Pats' second-most talented player is Gronk-spiking on IR. Not to mention, the Texans have significant talent of their own. You think Jadeveon Clowney, Whitney Mercilus and DeAndre Hopkins can't play? It goes to show how well-managed your football team is when it is perceived to not be playing up to snuff, yet puts up 34 and wins by three scores against a division champ. OK, so this would be an appropriate time to insert the "But Osweiler" Axiom.
