Q: How many points did the Packers score?
A: Take the Giants score and, uh, multiply by 3...

Nightmare scenario possibly  playing out in Foxboro -- at least the 1st half.  Pats D has been on the field for 90% of the half.   Geez.

Patriots started well—14-3 lead while having the ball only a handful of plays—but then turnovers from Brady/Floyd and Lewis set up opportunities that even the semi-hapless Texans couldn't screw up.

They'll be fine, should pull away in the 2nd half.  Hopefully without injuries, though.

Getting denied after 1st and goal at the 1 to close the half is pretty bad though. Houston smells a huge win, they will come for blood.

For sure, not a good half after a hot start.  HOU won't have the firepower to keep up as long as the offense can figure out a way to start opening up the field.  That deep play to Edelman looked encouraging.

I think Houston smells blood.  I would not be surprised to see them pull this off if NE doesn't start playing smarter

Never seen them make so many bad mistakes. The penalty on Rowe was unbelievable. HOU QB keeping Pats in the game.

All the signs are there for an epic loss by the Pats.

Yes!   Now how about a 3 and out.

Yeah, foolish play by Rowe, and the two turnovers were bad. Houston's D has been pretty good, but it's kinda ridiculous that the Pats haven't rattled Osweiler, who was one of the worst QBs this season.

Kinda typical post-bye performance for the Pats. They've often struggled after having that week off to start the playoffs.

Unfortunate turn for the Pats—fumble recovery returned 71 yards for a touchdown but then the call was changed to an incomplete pass.

Then again, they got lucky immediately after that when the Texans beat them deep but Fuller dropped what would've been a touchdown.

And now another INT for Brady. SMH

I was just about to say that the Houston D has been good but the Pats O has looked discombobulated.
