Unfortunately, even with injuries, Brady just pulls wins out of his ass sometimes, I don't know that we can pull it off. But... I LOVE BATTLE RED. Maybe we are pumped up and play like we believe. Just like against the bengals.

Watt's playing. How cool would it be to see Watt cover Gronk? That would be a pretty epic matchup. Not necessarily a good plan from the Houston perspective...but I'd like to see it.
Watt being not 100%, this is a golden opportunity for Jadeveon Clowney to do something in front of a national audience. He needs to make a big time play.
Honestly, it doesn't need to be Clowney. Watt not being 100% might actually work in J.J's favor. I doubt New England takes the injury lightly, but maybe they don't send as many double and triple teams J.J.'s way because they feel he's limited?
