Patriots Week 5 Report Card In Last-Minute Win Over Houston

Patriots Overcome Terrible Start To Win Over a Bad Texans Team

The Patriots showed a ton of resiliency and a great never say die attitude in coming back from a 22-9 deficit to defeat the Houston Texans 25-22 on Nick Folk’s fourth field goal of the game with just 15 seconds to go. But it has to be mentioned that how did the team allow itself to fall behind the Texans, one of the worst teams in the league that badly to begin with?

Entering the game, if you told me that the Patriots would struggle because the patchwork offensive line, held together with Gorilla Glue and 100mph tape, with four out of the five starters missing was the issue, I’d have totally bought that.
