The Texans didn't speak to the public Sunday, which was an intelligent initial move.
My advice: Lock the doors of NRG Stadium all week. Don't say anything you might regret. Review every frame of film on New England since 2000 as many times as humanly possible. Also, find some galactic rebel to steal the secret plans to the Death Star, then take a loan from Osweiler and hire a princess, two robots, an old warrior and a farm boy to blow the whole thing to smithereens.
Or just convince Brady this is really the Super Bowl off week.
It has never gone well for the Texans up north. Ever. They're 1-7 against the Pats all-time and 0-4 above the Mason-Dixon line. O'Brien, a proud native New Englander, is 0-2 against his mentor and has been schooled by Belichick both times, losing by a combined 54-6 and thankful it was that close. The one time the Texans actually beat New England – Week 17, 2009 season, Matt Schaub era - Wes Welker was swallowed by NRG Stadium's old turf monster.
Bad, weird things happen when the Texans play the Pats.
