The Texans are on fire after defeating the New England Patriots at NRG Stadium, 28-22, on Sunday Night Football. This is the first win over the Patriots since the 2009-2010 season; that’s more than 3,600 days without a win against Tom Brady and company. Texans fans were happy for the win and those that were tailgating were happy to share what was cooking on their grills. (Photos by Eric Sauseda)
