Why is that?

Just feels like the type of game where you will see Blount carry the ball 40 times and the team that somehow gets over 15 points will win it. A curiosity, NE and Houston have had the same number of pass attempts and runs. 69 runs - top of the league. 68 passes - 24th in the league. Now Brock will be on the road and the Pats are playing a baby.

"Gronkowski (hamstring) is in line to be active for Thursday night's game against the Texans, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
Spin: Those considering Gronkowski in Week 3 fantasy lineups will still want to verify his status once the Patriots submit their inactives for the 8:25 ET contest, but at this stage it looks like the team's offense, which is on track to be helmed by rookie QB Jacoby Brissett, will be bolstered by the anticipated return of Gronkowski."

Varsity Blues go down tonight. Brissett looked impressive in preseason, Big Ben esque.

I've never rooted for a player to get injured before, and I certainly won't be tonight either. But man, I really wanna see Julian Edelman get some snaps at QB.

JUST START ALREADY.

Sorry, forgot to say please.
We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I thought that getting around this part of town would be easy tonight with The Texans on the road but there is a stupid Beyoncé concert so there are more stupid drivers who don't know the area than usual... :nonono:

You guys kinda got screwed, far too long of a road trip for a Thursday night. They need to extend the season a week and have teams not play the Sunday before and after a Thursday nighter.

Brissett, not doing too bad.
Mitchell, Blount & Edelman (as WR), helping out.
