The Texans scored the last 21 points in this game putting the Patriots away.  The Patriots could never really decide whether or not they wanted to win this game or not as they kept switching QBs during the game.  Tom Brady was so-so when he played as he completed 17 of 26 passes for 186 yards with 0 TD passes and 1 INT.  Brian Hoyer also got some P.T. in this game as he completed 8 of 12 passes for 71 yards and he also carried the ball 1 time for 10 yards.  Fred Taylor led the way on the ground for the Patriots yesterday with 33 yards rushing on 7 carries (4.7 ypc) with 2 TD runs but he also lost a fumble in the end zone which resulted in a TD for the Texans.  BenJarvus Green-Ellis pitched in with 22 yards rushing on 4 carries (5.5 ypc) in this game.  Julian Edelman led the way in the passing game for the Patriots yesterday with 10 grabs for 103 yards (10.3 avg).  Randy Moss also had a decent game with 5 catches for 75 yards (15.0 avg) yesterday.  Wes Welker caught 1 pass for 12 yards in this game but he tore his ACL when making a cut ending his season and that will really hurt the Patriots.  The Patriots finished up with 317 total yards on offense (74 rushing, 243 passing) in this game.

Safeties James Sanders (11 tackles) and Brandon Meriweather (10 tackles) were really busy for the Patriots yesterday on D.  DE Derrick Burgess also had a solid game for the Patriots yesterday with 9 tackles, 1 tackle for a loss, 1 sack and 3 QB hits.  CB Darius Butler only had 2 tackles and he defensed 1 pass but he also intercepted a pass that he returned 91 yards for a TD.  The Texans finished up with 439 total yards on offense (144 rushing, 295 passing) in this game.  The Patriots finished the season as the AFC East Champs with a 10-6 record and they will play the Ravens next week in the playoffs.
