More on the matchup: Tom Brady took control of this matchup when the teams met during the 2012 regular season. He threw for 296 yards and four touchdowns in a dominant Patriots win, 42-14. He followed that up a month later in the playoffs with 346 yards and three touchdowns. Prior to the season, it felt like this game would be one of the season's best, but the Texans have crumbled and are in need of serious work this offseason. It's a disappointing year in Houston, while the Patriots are at their strongest.
