Tom Brady: ‘I don’t think we played anywhere near what our capabilities are’

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady wasn’t overly thrilled with his team’s season-opening 27-20 win over the Houston Texans Sunday afternoon.

“I don’t think we played anywhere near what our capabilities are,” Brady told reporters after New England’s 27-20 victory. “I think it’s good to win, obviously, but we’ve got to do a lot better than that I think.”

New England scored three touchdowns, but the team also suffered some offensive miscues: Brady threw an interception, tight end Rob Gronkowski fumbled the ball for the first time in six years, and wide receiver Riley McCarron muffed a punt.
