With the bye week over and the Houston Texans on their way to New England, quarterback Tom Brady knows the Patriots have their work cut out for them this week.

“It’s a great time of the year for football players to watch the best teams in the league compete and we’re going to be out there next weekend,” Brady said during his weekly appearance on WEEI’s Dennis and Callahan program. “I watched the Houston game … Once they won on Saturday, all the focus was on them.”
