The Patriots somewhat kind of destroyed the Texans. Na, I can't say that. I can say that they got a securing win against the Texans, 41-28. The defense played sort of good but they did let up a lot of yards and let up 2 fourth down conversions into first down conversions. Basically, once again the Texans could not do much. At this point, I think that they just cannot beat us. Anyways, Tom Brady made a lot of nice plays including a nice long pass to Shane Vereen for a touchdown. Here's the grades.
Quarterback A
Tom Brady outplayed Matt Schaub in many aspects, touchdowns, Brady never threw an interception, and Brady beat him in yards by 1 yard. Schaub had 343 yards and Brady had 344 yards. Brady did great. His main man was Welker.
Offense A
Wes Welker lead the offense in receiving and Stevan Ridley led the offense in rushing. Welker had a lot of yards in the game. Aaron Hernandez had some nice catches too. Also, Shane Vereen shined through the offense with 2 touchdown passes and catching a nice long one.
Defense B+
The defense is getting a B+ because they were inconsistent throughout the game. I would have game them an A- but I thought about it and said no. People like, Aqib Talib, Steve Gregory, and Devin McCourty had a lot of tackles and helped during key points.
Kicking A
Stephen Gostowski made in 2 field goals and all extra points in. Zoltan Mesko also had some nice punts during the game, including a long one that helped us.

So overall the Patriots all together, played a great game. With this win, Tom Brady becomes the quarterback with the most playoff wins, 17 wins, passing Joe Montana at 16. Anyways, I'm glad we won and beat the Texans. Also, Rob Gronkowski took a fall in the game and ended up getting injured. He ended up breaking his forearm again and his season is over, including the playoffs. The Pats made sure that they would move on to the AFC Championship game against the Ravens. The Ravens have been a red hot team in the playoffs so far but will they be able to handle Tom Brady and the Patriots? With Gronk getting injured, will it effect the Pats? Well we'll see next Sunday!
LET'S GO PATRIOTS!
