Patriots at Texans head-to-head
New England and Houston have only met 13 times with the Patriots holding a 10-3 series lead, although the Texans have won the last two meetings.
Brady had been the Patriots’ signal-caller for 11 of the 12 previous encounters before last season’s meeting. Last season featured QBs Deshaun Watson and Cam Newton, so this year’s affair will feature very different looks from both sides.
