Tom Brady’s First Half Numbers Vs. Texans Were Less Than Stellar

Tom Brady’s first half stats Sunday night were less than stellar, to say the least.

The New England Patriots quarterback set a number of personal records in the first two quarters against the Houston Texans at NRG Stadium, though they aren’t anything pride-evoking.

For the second time in six seasons, Brady threw seven or fewer completions on 15-plus pass attempts in an opening half, according to NFL Research. The last time he accomplished this was during the Pats’ 13-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys just a week prior.

Brady’s 7-of-19 (.368) matches the lowest completion percentage in an opening half in his career, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Brady has gone exactly 7-for-19 twice before, and the Patriots have rallied both times to overcome halftime deficits and win.

Yikes.
