Announcers = Jim Nantz, Phil Simms, sideline - Steve Tasker

This line from Spaceballs pretty much summed up the first meeting between the Pats, with Belichick in his hoodie as Dark Helmet and Kubiak as Lone Star:

C'mon Texans! Let's keep the upset train rolling this weekend. I DO NOT want a Baltimore/New England repeat for the AFC Championship Game.

Not much needs to be said. Just go there and do it. Bottom line.

Let's ****************ing go.

Texans in all white today...

-------------------------------

Kickoff in a few.

Let's go Texans.

Manning! Brings the kickoff back all the way to the Patriot 12 yard line!

Foster for 3. 2nd and 7 coming up.

Pass too tall for AJ in the endzone, inc. Texans to go for the FG.

Graham's 27-yarder is good.

Texans 3, Pats 0

13:57 left in the 1st quarter.

A pussy first down call and two complete failures of execution. Three points is not going to get it done.

That was nearly 7 to Casey, great KR by Manning.

Up 3, let's see what defense does.

Pats bring the ensuing kickoff back to their 19. Pats ball.

Woodhead stopped for no gain. 2nd and 10 coming up.

Pass to Welker gets about 8. 3rd and 2 coming up.

Pass to the sideline is inc. Pats have to punt.

Martin catches the punt and slips and slides to the Texan 17. Texans ball.
