A stroll down memory lane - Texans vs Pats recent history:
2009, Wk 17: Texans get their only victory against the Pats 34-27 behind Schaub and Foster. Pats were in rest-up mode for the playoffs but Belichick kept Brady in quite a bit going for the W. The win gave the Texans a 9-7 record for the year and their franchise first winning season.
2012, Wk 14: The 11-1 Texans travel to Foxboro for MNF and lose 42-14 in the infamous "varsity jacket game" (Expect CBS not to let this little nugget go by on Saturday's coverage). Schaub threw for no TDs and had one INT. Foster was locked down for 15/46. It was 42-7 at one point as TJ Yates finished the game with a QB sneak TD at the 2 minute mark.
2012, Divisional playoff: Texans head to Foxboro again, played better but still get eliminated from the playoffs losing 41-28. Schaub threw for 343 and 2 TDs but had the only turnover by both teams, an INT.
2013, Week 13: Case Keenum nearly leads the upset but the Texans fall 34-31 at Reliant/NRG. The Texans entered the game on a 9-game losing streak and finished the season 2-14.
2015, Week 14: The Brian Hoyer led Texans only get 7 first downs and fall to the Pats 27-6 @ NRG. JJ Watt had broken his hand earlier in the week and played with a club-like cast on his left hand.
2016, Week 3: The Texans go to Foxboro and lay an egg 27-0 on TNF. The Texans had 3 turnovers, Pats had none. Charles James and Tyler Ervin both had lost fumbles, Brock Osweiler had 1 INT.
