| Aaron Hernandez celebrates a touchdown in the Patriots 42-14 victory |
The Texans were ready to make a statement in Foxborough against Tom Brady and the Patriots, but unfortunately this wasn't the statement that they wanted to make. New England jumped ahead early and made this a laughable 42-14 blowout victory. The Texans just couldn't stop Brady, who went 21/35 for 296 yards, and four touchdowns. Aaron Hernandez was on the receiving end of two of Brady's touchdown passes, as he snagged eight passes for 58 yards and two scores. The Patriots just ran away with this one, leading 21-0 at the half. The Texans were held scoreless until the third quarter, when Arian Foster scored on a one yard touchdown run. This game was over when Brandon Lloyd caught a 37 yard pass from Brady after being wide open off a play fake to running back Stevan Ridley, to put New England up 21-0. The Patriots destroyed the then 11-1 Texans. The Texans fell to 11-2 and the Patriots improved to 10-3 on the season.
I also had a rough week, as I went 6-10 in NFL game picks for week 14.
