HOUSTON (SportsRadio) -- For the first time since 2010, the Houston Texans beat the New England Patriots.
The 28-22 win Sunday night allows the Texans to maintain their one-game lead in the AFC South standings.
The Texans only trailed once, when New England kicked a 23-yard field goal in the first quarter.
Houston responded with an interception on the Patriots' next drive.
Bradley Roby, who had not played since suffering a hamstring injury against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 13, intercepted Brady. His 22-yard return was negated by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, but the short field allowed the Texans offense to score in just three plays, capped by a 14-yard pass to running back Duke Johnson.

The Texans' next scoring drive came in the second quarter, when Watson found tight end Darren Fells for a 13-yard touchdown play.
Houston led New England 14-3 at halftime.
The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter, though the Patriots missed an extra point attempt.
A 35-yard touchdown pass from Watson to Kenny Stills extended the Texans' lead. Patriots running back James White then scored on a pass from Brady.
In the fourth quarter, the Texans ran a peculiar formation with Johnson, Watson and DeAndre Hopkins in the back field.

Watson took the snap, handed it off to a motioning Johnson, who handed the ball to a crossing Hopkins, who then shoveled it to Watson for a six-yard score.
Those were all the points the Texans needed.
The Patriots scored again on an 11-yard pass play to White, but the Texans defense was able to hold them to just 15 points.
Houston (8-4) hosts the Denver Broncos (4-8) next Sunday.
New England (10-2) hosts the Kansas City Chiefs (8-4) next Sunday.
