Patriots prepare for "different Texans team."
Is it surprising to anybody that a team coached by Bill Belichick is approaching this game, where they are almost universally favored, as if they are the underdogs? This is why the New England Patriots have been a top-tier franchise for the past decade. They don't take any match-up lightly.
When asked about being the heavy favorite against the Houston Texans, Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski responded with;
Again, not shocking that the Patriots refuse to expect an easy game. That's what makes them the Patriots. Veteran wide receiver Deion Branch basically reiterated what Gronk had to say.
