Dion Lewis caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from Tom Brady and returned a 98-yard kickoff for a touchdown in the first-quarter.
With the Texans down 14 to 6 in the second quarter, CJ Fiedorowicz caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Brock Osweiler.
With the Patriots up 17 to 13 in the third-quarter, Tom Brady threw a 19-yard touchdown pass to James White. Brady finished with 287 yards passing 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
With the Patriots up 24 to 16 in the fourth, Dion Lewis added a 1-yard rushing touchdown. He had 41 rushing yards and 23 receiving yards.
