Stevan Ridley, down here on the field, is INACTIVE for #Patriots today. Bad case of Fumblitis http://t.co/lJ1YiNiviv
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 1, 2013
Wonder how long Bill Belichick is going to make Stevan Ridley hold that football …

Houston wins the coin toss & elects to receive. Gostkowski to kick off. #NEvsHOU
— New England Patriots (@Patriots) December 1, 2013
Texans got 1 first down, but Keenum overthrew Dennis Johnson on third down. He has to make that throw.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) December 1, 2013
Nice stop! #Patriots get the ball for the first time this game. #StartFast
— Jeff Garvey (@Mule_Rock) December 1, 2013
brady just doesnt have that deep ball, yuck, 3 and out
— From The Couch (@ftcsports) December 1, 2013
How exactly does Andre get that open? #patriots
— Adam Rivers (@adamrivers) December 1, 2013
Touchdown, Ben Tate. #Texans came to play today #Homecoming
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 1, 2013
We're spotting them another lead, I like comebacks.
— Fake Tom Brady (@CockyTomBrady) December 1, 2013
Ughhhhhh Brady intercepted
— Any given name (@Geeitsvirginia) December 1, 2013
Texans 10, Patriots 0. After two big prime-time games, Patriots come out flat in all 3 phases against 2-win Texans.
— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) December 1, 2013
Josh Boyce with a huge kick return taking it to the New England 44 yard-line. Good field position for Brady & company. #Patriots
— Frank Pimentel (@FrankTank96) December 1, 2013
Gronk bend. Gronk catch. Gronk roll. Gronk spike. #AllDayToThrow #PatriotsTalk
— Obnoxious Boston Fan (@realOBF) December 1, 2013
Intercepted! Right on! :)))
— #Stacy pats #1 (@stacykk6_stacy) December 1, 2013
Gostkowski misses from 55 yards out, that last sack really knocked the Patriots out of his range, though. His longest of the year is 54.
— Erik Frenz (@ErikFrenz) December 1, 2013
Dear Patriots, you're playing a 2-9 team. Please blow them out and quit playing bad.
— Rachel M. (@REMBostonsports) December 1, 2013
Ben Tate had one rushing yard last week, two rushing TDs today.
— zach_law (@zach_law) December 1, 2013
ATTN Patriots. TACKLE: verb - stop the forward progress of (the ball carrier) by seizing them and knocking them to the ground.
— Mary Paoletti (@Mary_Paoletti) December 1, 2013
Texans take knee & we arrive at halftime with the Texans leading the Patriots, 17-7. Uninspiring football from Patriots. Texans playing hard
— Mike Reiss (@MikeReiss) December 1, 2013
#Patriots fans are watching this game with the same disgusted expression as a girl waking up next to a random drunken hookup from last night
— Anthony DiMoro (@AnthonyDiMoro) December 1, 2013
Ok #patriots its time to flip the switch and win this damn game let's do this let's go patriots
— Glenn forti (@FortiGlenn) December 1, 2013
You cannot take Gronk down!
— Katniss Everdeen (@elika352) December 1, 2013
What an effort by Develin, the former Brown DE who played Arena 2 ball w/ an Engineering degree from an Ivy!
— Ross Tucker (@RossTuckerNFL) December 1, 2013
James Develin just showed every Black Friday shopper in America the meaning of aggressiveness
— Jerry Thornton (@jerrythornton1) December 1, 2013
That was a very big stop on third-and-1 to bring about three-and-out. See what the Patriots do with it.
— Tom E. Curran (@tomecurran) December 1, 2013
Julian Edelman is a football player. #DierdorfAnalysis
— Marc Bertrand (@Marc_Bertrand) December 1, 2013
As expected, Brady is kiling the Texans' defense. Picking them apart in embarrassingv fashion against no pass rush. So accurate.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) December 1, 2013
Say bye bye to the lead #Texans
#PatriotsNation
— Dan E Amendola (@DouchyAmendola) December 1, 2013
VereeeeenTD!! #GOPATS
— Ali Young (@mocca2000) December 1, 2013
Great drive!
— Troy Brown (@RealTroyBrown80) December 1, 2013
Don't text and TD-drive at the same time. #Brady #GotToGetMeOneOfThese #PatriotsTalk pic.twitter.com/h35b6f9kKh

What I wouldn't give for out D to cover receivers today. We look lost.
— Jason Marks (@508jmarks4life) December 1, 2013
Edge not set. Easy waltz for Keenum. Texans with big boy answer. 24-21 Houston. #PatriotsTalk
— Michael Giardi (@MikeGiardi) December 1, 2013
Did not see that drive coming!!
— michael flynn (@flynn985) December 1, 2013
Watching the Patriots defense is the leading cause of drinking.
— Tom Brady's Ego (@TomBradysEgo) December 1, 2013
Belichick turned to Josh McDaniels and whispered: "It's time to unleash the Develin Protocol. You know what to do."
— Christopher Price (@cpriceNFL) December 1, 2013
So hitting Vereen in the hands isn't good enough?
— Fake Tom Brady (@CockyTomBrady) December 1, 2013
BRADY TO EDELMAN FOR THE 1ST #TEAMPATRIOTS
— #BOSTONSTRONG (@capricornlee) December 1, 2013
Touchdown Blount!!!
— Katniss Everdeen (@elika352) December 1, 2013
DeAndre Hopkins turns around Kyle Arrington, gets loose for a 60-yard grab. This game is far from over, folks
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 1, 2013
Kyle Arrington was just described as "completely disoriented" by Dan Dierdorf. That about sums up his career.
— Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe) December 1, 2013
Well, 3 plays and #Texans TD. Not good, #Patriots.
— Steve (@NEexpatriate) December 1, 2013
Well that was ugly
— Cynthia (@BitchCakes12) December 1, 2013
Gostkowski kicks 53 FG to tie the score 31-31 wit 7:16 left in the game. Defense hasn't kept Pats from scoring in 2nd half.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) December 1, 2013
Alright, Pats D - less "play like moldy cat puke", more "don't give up a touchdown", OK? PLEASE?
— Fitzy (@FitzyGFY) December 1, 2013
Keenum let down on consecutive plays by A. Johnson and Graham. Third-and-10 for Texans. Nice call for pressure by Pats forces punt.
— Tom E. Curran (@tomecurran) December 1, 2013
Gronk. Clutch. 17 yards on third and 3
— Ben Volin (@BenVolin) December 1, 2013
Gronk is limping uh oh😩
— Danielle (@whaleimdanielle) December 1, 2013
Wow! Another big kick for Gostkowski! Huge!!
— Jeff Garvey (@Mule_Rock) December 1, 2013
Keenum's jersey's a mess. He's been playing big kid ball this afternoon & earning his keep says this Pat's fan. Pats/Houston has been a game
— Francis Moran (@xfranman) December 1, 2013
Kubiak takes a timeout with the clock stopped down 3 with 2:07 left ... 4th-13 ... good clock management
— Paul Perillo (@pfwpaul) December 1, 2013
This is it! Let's go D go Pats!
— Baltazar (@BaltazarBoston) December 1, 2013
Typical Texans: Tate loses 2 on first down. Keenum throws incomplete. Bad overthrow by Keenum on 3rd down. Incomplete on 4th down. Over.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) December 1, 2013
That will work! Nink, Jones and Carter hold a defensive team meeting on Case Keenum's ass!
— PatriotsXLVIII (@PatriotsXLVIII) December 1, 2013
7 seconds remain. Houston gets the ball back inside the 5. Ryan Allen with a beautiful punt. #Patriots
— Frank Pimentel (@FrankTank96) December 1, 2013
#Patriots do it again, come back to win 34-31 over #Texans. Pats improve to 9-3, ending three-game road losing streak
