I have to wonder if the Patriots didn't lay down in the end.

I don't know if they laid down but I think Mario's rush which led to Pollard's pick convinced Bellichick not to use Brady for the final drive. I do know the Patriots were using few d-linemen in the fourth quarter which is part of the reason the running game perked up at the end.

But CONGRATS to the Texans for going 9-7 and forcing the hand of the other Wild Card hopefuls.
