6. Winning a game in the Northeast has been almost impossible for the Texans.

If controlling the clock and running the ball can help you beat the Patriots, why was the #1 rushing team (Denver) thrashed twice by the Patriots last year?

because they didn't have to worry about the passing game as much as they would the texans.

i must have misread something though. i thought the discussion was that you thought the texans lost to the pats no matter where on the schedule the game fell because it was up there. not based on the specifics of the schedule (3rd road game in a row)
