The Texans sent more than four rushers at Brady on 44.2 percent of his dropbacks. That’s the second-highest rate on the season and the most since the 51.2 percent the Rams threw at Brady in London (not coincidentally, a 45-7 Patriots win). The Patriots were even more aggressive, bringing extra pressure against Schaub on 52.5 percent of his throws. That’s the most since at least the start of the 2010 season.

It will be interesting to see if both teams are as aggressive this time. I sure hope the Patriots are.

On the Gregory interception, Belichick points out a strong one-on-one rush by rookie defensive end Chandler Jones which also tightens the pocket. “Chandler played probably his best game of the year,” Belichick says, highlighting how Jones used a power rush on rookie left tackle Jonathan Martin before coming back inside.

Really good sign that Chandler played so well last weekend, there were some concerns that he just wasn’t the same player he had been before missing time with his injury.

The Best of the Week in PatsPropaganda

Between being on vacation the last two weeks and the Pats next opponent still being uncertain I feel like we just hit a mini mid-season void here.

Really we haven’t learned too much about the Patriots since the 49ers game. They flash from dominant to invisible from game to game and often, drive to drive. Is there a chance they can put it all together for three games to glory? Sure.

But they’ll need to be clutch, and that’s something that has gone absent on the biggest stages at times over the past few seasons.

There’s one thing that won’t happen though…the Patriots will not be blown out. Every game they play over the next month will be close.

If they lose it will be because the other team just outplayed them in the final five minutes and they’ll lose by one to six points. It’s really just that simple.

Here the best of the week for Saturday morning…
