What hurt them more was Brady getting knocked out with a knee injury for one season. Since then, they have not failed to make the playoffs and, three years hence, were back to the Super Bowl and have been in the AFC Championship Game four straight seasons.

For a team like the Texans, losing their #1 pick is a substantial blow. For the Patriots, it was just collateral damage.
