Houston has established itself as the cream of the crop in the AFC with convincing wins over both Baltimore and Denver earlier this season. This Monday night will provide a true test for the Patriots.

Is it just me or does this feel like the biggest game in a long time for the Patriots? Can’t remember a meaningful game like this in December.

Picked-up pieces from first-half review – New England Patriots Blog – ESPN Boston

Nice to see Trevor Scott having a good game yesterday, stepping up when the Patriots needed him. I was really high on Scott coming into the season because of his versatility, and thought the Pats were getting him at the right time just coming off a full year recovery from an ACL injury.

Due to the emergence of Chandler Jones they haven’t really needed Scott that much but the quality snaps he’s getting now could be a long term benefit, especially in sub packages once Jones comes back.

[H]aving veteran Trevor Scott allowed them to incorporate some new defensive wrinkles. Specifically, Scott was used as a man-to-man coverage player on a tight end, as he checked tight end Anthony Fasano on the second play of the Dolphins’ second drive. Scott showed like he was going to rush before walking over Fasano for the man-to-man assignment. The Patriots may have used Scott in this way both because of his good reactive athleticism and instincts, and also because Fasano is just an average athlete for his position. Nonetheless, Scott made his mark early and often in his first start as a Patriot, finishing with two critical sacks on the day.
