Patriots defensive back Eric Rowe, who played in high school at Klein, offered this tidbit to the Boston Globe's Jim McBride this week:
When the Patriots and Texans play on Saturday, Rowe won't have any feelings for his hometown team. He didn't grow up a Texans fans. Or a Cowboys fan.
Instead, he backed a team that both the Texans and Patriots have a pretty long history with.
"I was a huge Colts fan back in the day," said Rowe. "Peyton Manning, Dallas Clark, Marvin Harrison, all those guys.
"The Pats? I was pretty mad they were beating my Colts all the time,'' he said.
