Week 1 was not perfect for the New England Patriots, but there were a lot of positive takeaways from the win over the Houston Texans. While a seven-point win is never a bad thing, it certainly could have been more if not for some mistakes.
One of the reasons why the Patriots were able to win was because of the stellar performance from their offensive line. This offseason, one of the biggest question marks for the Patriots was at left tackle. The loss of Nate Solder left a void at the left tackle position, which is one of the most important positions on the line.
