FIRST QUARTER

Summary:

Bradley Roby saved it for the Texans with his interception of Tom Brady to set up a Duke Johnson touchdown and a 7-3 lead. Before that, the Texans looked inept on offense, going three-and-out on their first possession, and the Patriots answered with a methodical drive. The Texans’ offense stalled again and punted before Roby turned it all around.

Key stat:

Tom Brady’s passer rating was 8.9 after he went 3-of-8 for 29 yards.
