Patriots defeat Texans

The patriots played the texans Ina divisional playoff game. The patriots started off slow with no points I the first two possessions but finally were able to gt a spark from Vereen who ended up getting three touchdowns and being vital in the patriots pulling out the victory. It seemed as thought the contest was over when the patriots gained a commanding 38 to 13 lead but the texans fought back to make it 28to 38 but the patriots got a field goal and closed out the game. Tom Brady said after the game that the ravens are a good team but he thinks the patriots have a great chance of winning this game if they don't let the ravens different looks on defense got to them. They also must contain the speedy wide reciever Torrey smith who had a tremendous first half against the broncos with two touchdowns and nearly 100 yards.

Patriots Defense

The New England Patriots defense has really struggled in late game situations this year. The most memorable defensive breakdown was in week 6 against the seahawks when Kyle Arrington allowed his man to run effortlessly by him into the end zone where he received the pass to give them the go ahead touchdown. The defense is really at a disadvantage with Devin Mccourtey playing Safety when he normally plays Cornerback. The only good part of the Defense is Spikes and Mayo at the linebacker positions. With the offense I often forget but you have to realize with the defense as young and inexperienced as it is, I question if the offense can over power the defense to forfill the playoff run. None the less I have hope in the team to not only make the playoffs but make it into the AFC Championship. I believe they will lose to the Texans in that game.
