Not sure about that. Most would consider the Broncos better after the Texans defense got hit with a ton of major injuries.

"Biggest game in franchise history." - Andre Johnson

“This game was just another game for us, It wasn’t the biggest game of the year for us, so I think we just prepared like we were playing another game, did everything that we should have against the Texans.” - Rob Ninkovich



At least Houston still have those cute varsity jackets though. Those boys got embarrassed last night. WOW.

How come Schuab has struggled in primetime games?

Lol. The lights have nothing to do with it. Houston wouldn't have magically won the game if ESPN wasn't broadcasting it.

They lost because they made too many mistakes in the first half, their defense has several injuries, and the Pats are a freakin' good team.

I still don't trust that Patriots Defense just yet though.

Houston's offense was suppose to go off against NE and all it did was sputter. I havent believed in the Houston defense ever since Rogers went off on them. If they play a competent QB its gonna be a problem, the injuries dont help.

These guys will be in the playoffs so these games do matter. Hope the Texans shape up.

Same here, Pack.

Last night had more to do with Gary Kubiak's game plan. You cannot run that type of offense against NE and expect to win. You have to throw the ball down field.

Patriots defense has improved, but last night's game proved nothing.

The Patriots looked like the best team in the AFC last night. They were in complete control of the game from the start and played well in every aspect of the game.
