Coming off back-to-back losses, the New England Patriots stared in the face of another defeat when they fell behind 22-9 in the early third quarter against the Houston Texans.
Up until that point, New England had played some sloppy football on both sides of the ball. The offense had two costly turnovers, while the defense was unable to stop its opponent from marching down the field again and again. Falling to 1-4 on the season seemed like a realistic possibility with 28 minutes left in the game.
However, 28 minutes is more than enough time to turn things around (especially at Houston’s NRG Stadium).
