It should be noted that the Broncos, under Shanahan/Kubiak were one of the toughest teams for Belichick's Patriots to beat over the years, including a playoff game several years ago when the Patriot dynasty was close to cemented.
This defense isn't really up to Belichick's normal standards but I don't think our wounded Texans are up to the ability of the old Broncos to run the ball either.
I have to believe New England is the better team going into this. Like last week in Miami, the Texans have to show up in a playoff mindset and jump to an early lead. That will make Houston more confident and make New England focus on staying healthy for the coming week when it really counts.
