The Houston defensive backfield may not be prolific, but the combination of J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus makes life difficult for quarterbacks. That Patriots vs Texans Scores was evident in Houston’s five sacks and eight QB hits, forcing three fumbles on strip sacks. It didn’t help that the Patriots were without starting right tackle Marcus Cannon, either. Prior to Sunday, Brady had taken five or more sacks in a game six times before in his career. In those games, he threw a total of five touchdowns with three interceptions, averaging just 200 passing yards. On Sunday, he threw for 378 yards and five touchdowns.
