Gameday: Texans at Patriots

Globe reporters provide updates from Gillette Stadium.

3rd & 7 37yd

Deshaun Watson with some video game moves out here. Pretty impressive

Ryan Griffin, a New Hampshire native, with three receptions for 46 yards. Has a ton of family, friends here today.

Wow, a David Harris sighting. Replaces Elandon Roberts. He played 4 snaps all year

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:07:08 PM
New Hampshire's Ryan Griffin with the 12 yard TD catch. Great throw from Watson. McCourty in coverage

Patriots say Stephon Gilmore is dealing with dehydration issues and is questionable to return

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:08:20 PM
Watson is magician like. His TD toss to Griffin pulls #Texans within 28-27. Long way to go. It's hot out there. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 7:09:30 PM
#Patriots CB Stephon Gilmore questionable to return because of dehydration.

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 7:10:08 PM
It may have taken 16 years, but the Texans have finally found their franchise quarterback. Watson is going to be a good one

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:10:52 PM
Huge third down conversion by James White. He's gotten so much better at gaining extra yards

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:14:47 PM
Nate Solder is having a tough day.

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:18:54 PM
I say that's a pass for Brady. Got rid of the ball just before hitting the ground

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:19:28 PM
Call upheld. Texans burn a timeout. Patriots were going to punt anyway, maybe not the smartest challenge by O'Brien

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:20:58 PM
Gilmore is back in the game

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:22:36 PM
Stephon Gilmore back on the field for this series. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 7:23:18 PM
End of three quarters, Patriots lead, 28-27. Texans showing impressive fight

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:26:53 PM
Watson just misses Stephen Anderson in the end zone. Man, that was close. Anderson had a step. Texans hit the 31 yd FG, lead 30-28

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:33:32 PM
Fairbairn's 31-yard FG is true and #Texans have a 30-28 lead here with 12:13 left to go in the fourth quarter. #Patriots

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 7:34:00 PM
Patriots need a clock-churning touchdown drive in the worst way

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:35:38 PM
And they go 3 and out instead. Fans let them hear it twitter.com/BenVolin/statu…

Watson is just picking this defense apart. Stunning

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:43:45 PM
Two straight drives the Patriots can't convert a third and 1. Kinda pathetic

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:51:09 PM
Patriots haven't lost back to back home games since losing to the Steelers and Jets in 2008

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:51:55 PM
Two straight 3 and outs for #Patriots . 5:55 left. #Texans lead, 30-28.

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 7:52:35 PM
Deshaun Watson with the play of the year, escaping 4 tackles and hitting Foreman for 31 yards. Close the balloting

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 7:56:25 PM
Texans 36 yard FG is good, and it's Texans 33-28 with 2:24 left 4Q. Patriots need that Brady magic now

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:01:56 PM
#Texans extend lead to 33-28. #Patriots have 2:24 and one timeout left.

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 8:02:38 PM
Brady has now been sacked 5 times today

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:11:25 PM
Amendola, so clutch

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:12:58 PM
Brady. Cooks. 25 yards. Touchdown. Where's the beef???

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:13:25 PM
Cooks has to complete the catch. The ball maybe hit the ground

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:14:59 PM
Ruling stands. Touchdown confirmed. That was a close one

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:15:40 PM
Tom Brady just did a Tom Brady thing. #Patriots lead, 35-33.

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 8:16:14 PM
36-33* twitter.com/globejimmcbrid…

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 8:17:32 PM
Gronk in on the Hail Mary defense

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:20:31 PM
Intercepted by Duron Harmon. Patriots win, 36-33. What a comeback, what a game

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:20:59 PM
O’Brien really blew it at the end by not calling timeout. Texans easily should’ve had 1-2 more plays to get into FG range

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:24:05 PM
Patriots win, Dolphins lose. Your first place New England Patriots (tied with Buffalo)

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:29:20 PM
Tom Brady 5 for 7 for 92 yards and a TD on that final drive. #Patriots , 36-33. ????

by Jim McBride via twitter 9/24/2017 8:29:52 PM
Brady: “We just kept fighting. That’s the most important thing.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DKhCWivVAAAULKu.jpg

Brandin Cooks said he felt “convicted” for kneeling for the anthem. His father and uncle were Marines, his uncle fought in Vietnam

by Ben Volin via twitter 9/24/2017 8:49:59 PM
New from @BenVolin : This rally ranks near the top of Tom Brady’s greatest comebacks. trib.al/38tePHp

Belichick has no interest in answering anthem questions today. Only will take football questions https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DKhIP0mUMAARZiJ.jpg

Gronk: “It was just awesome to see Cooks tap his toes. What a great catch.” https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DKhJEaCXUAAMcEw.jpg
