New England won the game 28-16. The Texans turned the ball over five times, including one that led to a pick-six by Marcus Jones.
Diggs had four catches for 40 yards and a touchdown. Boutte had three catches for 75 yards and made an incredible one-handed touchdown grab that proved to be the knockout blow in the fourth quarter.
