I am not a Patriots fan but how can you not respect a team trying to make do with a 3rd string QB blowing out a decent opponent? 27-0 for the Pats against the Texans, who are going to be at least a .500 team, wouldn't you say?

Brissett wasn't spectacular but he didn't have to be. Blount ran the ball well and the N.E. defense was hella good. Scary!

Did you watch the Texans' defense? How many times did they have both arms around the ball carrier and fail to make the tackle? This game had to set a new record for yards gained after first contact, if you can call that contact.

A significant win over the Chiefs and another victory over the lowly Bears. Sure the Texans played some sloppy defense tonight but I stated that they'll probably be a .500 team, maybe a little better. I don't think that's giving them too much credit.
