tied a halas chicago bear record. ball out of the hands, and it is ruled incomplete. hit by trey flowers, making place late in this game. >> phil: trey flowers, everywhere, number 98. hands coming forward. made some good run stops. >> jim: remember that time it just happened to say in a production meeting to bill, " you would've never met by chance george halas?" he said, i did, 10 years old, went into the locker room, my dad introduced me to george halas. miller with a catch, thrown dow down. said he congratulated halas on the win, and halas reached in his pocket and gave him a dollar bill and said, "the first time i get congratulated on a win by

imagine that meeting between two of the legendary coaches of all time happening when he was just a little boy. 3rd and 6. and it is caught by griffin out at the 16-yard line for a first. >> phil: this game, it is in patriots. as catch by griffin that time. but patriots, they are not splitting up on the defensive side. still double-teaming deandre hopkins, and they are going to make brock osweiler throw it to somebody else. >> jim: you want to complete the shutout. the last time they had a shutout was week 17 of 2012 against the dolphins in a 28-0 victory.

something on that defense. >> jim: with an interception tonight too. >> phil: yep. patrick chung watching him, leading the eyes of the quarterback, he is going to make a big hit is strong dust catch it. -- if strong does catch it. >> jim: missing one of the most important players, dont'a hightower out with with a knee. here goes miller, his longest run of the evening. good for 15. >> phil: would have loved to have seen that in the first half, first quarter. that was the whole plan, to do that, and it never worked.

there by mcclellin, the former bear. >> phil: the biggest thing too, talk about this patriots defense, we write notes. i remember writing on the top of the page going, multiple, they do about. they didn't do as much as we've seen them go the first couple of games, but the difference i've seen in the last five years years, this defense is stacked and it shows. >> jim: another catch by griffin. these throws underneath. that is its his eighth catch fr 52 yards. >> phil: chris long once again right back there, almost getting a sack. you take him out and to bring in jabaal sheard. that's a pretty good trade-off. yeah. >> jim: stacked up, miller, no gain. collins.

think, all this plays that are talked about, everybody can play two and three positions, you jut don't know what you're going to get because of that versatility, where they're going to lineup, who is going to cover who. >> jim: 2nd and 10. flowers has it that it down. that's trey flowers, and mcclellin putting on the heat. >> phil: jay mcclellin from chicago. been a rough, rough night for brock osweiler. guys are not getting open, some big hits. we said it, bill o'brien, look at that, sacks, curries, knockdowns.

got a good presence on the field, leads this football team. >> jim: that was hopkins trying to make an acrobatic catch. of course, they will go for it here with 3 minutes to go. >> phil: to talk about bill parcells, you know, when you lose these games like this, it is up to the quarterback to set the tempo for the following week. by the way, i was a little upset. he took tracy wolfson's call when i call him, he never picks up. you think he's still mad? >> jim: yeah. >> phil: a little bit of a rough time. >> jim: sure sounded like brissett was his favorite quarterback to be around very first number 11? >> phil: called him, like, five times this week, no answer. >> jim: 4th and 10, incomplete.

hungrier than they were in the first quarter as they are sensing they are about to close out a shutout. >> phil: so many players, you got to keep performing because there is somebody great on your heels wanting your job. >> jim: texans only shutout in the regular season happened back all the way in '03. second season. but they weren't were shut oute playoffs last year, last year, they had five regular-season wins in a row coming in here. with their loss in the regular-season, the most recent one december 15th against cleveland. blount squeezes out one more yard, and we're going to be sending it to the "mazda

on the "mazda postgame show." you know, marshall faulk said something tonight when they were making predictions for the game which i thought was a strong and good comment. he said, if you can't win this game tonight with all the patriots that are out this evening, how are they ever going to beat them? that might be a mentality to get past that heard up tonight. this was a chance for them win at new england would have meant a lot for them to build off of. >> phil: when you win, what's the old saying? what did they ask you the day after the game? did you win or did you lose? we don't care about the circumstances. if tom brady is out, did you win? it feels great. but they were outplayed from start to finish here tonight. >> jim: two-minute warning.

>> jim: back for the last 2 minutes here as bill belichick is just 2 minutes away from getting the ninth shutout of his time in new england. where do these two teams go from here? so early in the season. you can't make crazy predictions about what this is going to do for the rest of the season for a squad, but how them? >> phil: when you lose like this, they'll recover, jim. they'll get back and go back to work and realize it's just one game. and we see teams changed dramatically every year from the start of the year to the middle. the nfl season, i always say, even when i played, it's like four seasons. you've got to hang in there and see what your team develops into. and you lways hope at the right time of year it just clicks, the chemistry, the health,

this is not going to destroy houston, the fact that they have been beat up and manhandled here tonight. >> jim: how 'bout for the patriots? knowing the likes of hightower will be coming back eventually, gronkowski should be healthy down the road. and that guy, number 12, as well, just a few weeks away, october the ninth. tom brady's return at cleveland. first, though, they'll hosting buffalo in week four. there is the brady return game. cleveland. >> phil: i'll say this though. i'll tell you one thing. we haven't talked about enough tonight. they are going to be happy with their offensive line, how physical it was. i think this patriot team, another wanted to do that in this off-season, get back to being physical and running the football and not just relying o- >> jim: look at this, allen

been one of his great nights. >> phil: just to give themselves a little more room. >> jim: delay of game, offense, 5-yard penalty. >> phil: woke the crowd up for a minute. >> jim: having fun, still coaching, 1:15 and still trying to come up with something creative to maybe draw the texans offside. to no >> phil: you know, you talk to bill, i said this story before. bill, what about this? oh, i love free agency, i love looking for players. i love the combine, i love the draft. i love old ta's. he complains, and he complained to us and i think rightly so. they don't get to practice enough. >> jim: there is a fair catch,

six punt inside the 20, and by my count, that is six punts that had eventually finished from the 13-yard line or worse. >> phil: tremendous special spel teams night. for the patriots. he got up when i started talking about that, didn't he? i knew it would. i did on that's the thing, let's cut back on games and practice. don't have enough time to get backups ready as it is. >> jim: play for blue out to the nine with a minute to go. when it all comes to an end and they had to the locker room, i wonder if coach belichick might

maybe he'll give him the same ball back that brissett gave to the coach. here. here, coach. [laughs] instead of thanks, he said, give this back to me after the game in the locker room. blue backing in for a first. and the texans are going to call it a night. >> phil: what a night. that's excg. in high school, led his team to a state championship, 32-1. runner up, mr. florida basketball, to boston rivers. so he's an amazing kid. and when parcells pouches as much as he has for brissett, made phone calls, you know he is something special. >> phil: that says a lot. >> jim: just the third week of the season, and it is a short

together with bill -- bill parcells first, later here with belichick in new england. great font and friendship there. wilfork, probably the next time he walks on to this field, they'll be presented in some kind of patriot hall of fame honor. he will be recognized in time. >> phil: hoping to get one more shot at a playoff game. >> jim: if that happens, they may not brissett on that occasion. got to think it will be tom brady. a shutout victory. patriots tonight, dominate in all. >> phil: special teams outstanding, great plan on both sides of the football. they took care of the rookie

>> jim: 27-0, the final score. coming up, the "mazda postgame show." we'll be back with more after this. you've been watching "thursday night football" presented by bud light. here's some information. we have the right amount of beer taps. if we had any more, the kegs wouldn't stay fresh. any fewer and we might not have that beer you like on tap. the one you can't pronounce, so you just point. which makes us pretty confident. we've got that confident look in our eyes. the squinty one with the furrowed brow. because of the taps. ? music plays ?

up, then braided back, possible that brissett, as good of a job as he did tonight, extraordinary in a short week, third week of the season, he could possibly not see the field the rest of the year. >> phil: that's what's amazing. the game plan, steve mariucci, all the guys here, they know, football is about count, but the one game with an coaching reall you have talent and you have good coaching, you can become a star. you can have all that talent, coaching's not there, tonight was a clinic on offense, how to protect. defense change dramatically. you talked about it all night. special teams were a whole mother story too >> jim: dalton's against the bengals on nfl network only, a

live from the channel 4 studios in boston. this was a perfect home opener for the patriots with a dazzling debut for jacoby brissett. thank you for with us. david wade is live on the field at gillette stadium. >> who would have predicted this score? all i can say tonight is, belichick for president. i mean, seriously. take away his hall of fame quarterback. take away his rising star backup. it just doesn't matter. he comes up with the game plan to make a good team look bad and that's what he did tonight.

it into a fresh start for this team. jacoby brissett starting his first game. becoming the first african- american starting quarterback for the patriots and this franchise history the first rookie to start since drew bledsoe in 1993. by the way, he looked pretty good tonight. another first, first game back for their hobbled all world tight he wasn't his full self, but good to see him back. this games belongs to jacoby brissett. let's talk to our sports director here. actually, let's talk to dan roach over at cbs with all the highlights. a lot of fun. remember last sunday a few days ago, the patriots jumped out to a big league and then held on

tonight, different story. dominating houston start to finish with jacobo brissett at quarterback. it leads up to a big win. 27-0 of the final. first quarter, after the ensuing kickoff was fumbled. he runs in a touchdown that gave the pats a 10-0 lead. they had two takeaways on special teams and one interception. meanwhile, blount, huge for this one from 41 yards out iced it as the pats win big becoming the first team to improve at 3- 0 on the season. again, all three faces -- phases of the game huge all lead by bill belichick. masterful. the defensive coordinator and the offensive coordinator, special teams put it together

highlights, reaction coming up in sports in just a few minutes. if here at the cbs scene, david wade let's go back to you inside the stadium. >> thank you so much. of course, patriots nation always believes in belichick, but tonight they were believing in brissett as well. a high level of confidence for a third string quarterback tonight. fans were pumped for this game, and they got the resulted they wanted. let's head out into the parking lot where they have nick. >> reporter: dare i say there's an error of inconvenience -- air of invincibility coming out of this team. you can sense it out here because the next man up mentality has been tested more than ever before over these first three games of the season, and they have done nothing but flex in the face of

party because the patriots party features lobsters? >> go pats. >> reporter: a taste of tailgating at its finest thursday before fans filed into the stadium for a prime time showdown between the 2-0 patriots and the 2-0 texans. >> it's thursday night football. >> it's the best night of the week. >> reporter: fans from as far away as ireland made the trip for the occasion. >> people are bay more friendly here -- way more friendly here. >> reporter: some rocking brady jerseys and others just jack let's go this is thursday fight finest. we have to come prepared. dressed for action. this is it. we're all for jacoby here. prediction, 3 touchdowns, 400 yards. >> reporter: wearing their emotions on their sleeves, they dis missioned the idea of the team being under dogs at home. >> i can throw to gronk for a touchdown. i'm sure brissett can. >> reporter: they put their faith in brissett who was the

first black quarterback to lead the offense as a starting signal caller. >> we want nothing but victory. if he's going to put us on that road, we're all about it. >> reporter: just tackety look around me. the parking lot has cleared out. we've been seeing fans heading for the exits since about the ten minute mark in the 4th quarter. i did hear and whispers people admitting only the way out -- on the way out they did not see this coming. of course only one more game to brady. >> all right. thank you so much. how can you possibly complain tonight? patriots with the shutout 27-0, and the weather was incredible. let's bring in eric fisher now and talk about that because big changes are headed our way now. >> absolutely. can i add the red sox swept another series? it's a good night in boston. changes are on our doorstep.

rain in northern new england. we're going to start in the 50s. we jump into the 80s by midday and early afternoon. but then we're going to see more cloud cover and a chance of showers as well as a cooling trend as we head toward the second half of the day. early afternoon, notice the cooler air settling southward and then taking over all of the region as we head into the evening. as we fall into the 50s and 60s, also tracking evening showers that will be te and by saturday morning, the 40th are knocking and the 30s follow the 40s. up know, when it comes to patriots uniforms, we know about pat the patriot. we know about the flying elvis. tonight, they supported something different. it was the color rush uniform. take a look at what they were sporting tonight in their game against the texans. looking sharp and, of course, playing sharp as well, which is more important.

tow in blue. a little strange. looked like the texans uniforms that they wear. those were our patriots and window know because the -- we know because the final score looked like it the first new uniforms since 2003. lisa hughes, i have to say there may be a few people running out to try to buy jacoby brissett jerseys. and the only quarterback in patriots history ever to win a game with one of those color rush uniforms. of course it was only one game, campaign picking up some steam. >> which him in? we're following some breaking news tonight. a curfew in effect right now in charlotte, north carolina, after a third night of protests. the national guard moved in there and we learned that a protester injured last night has died. this is a look at what happened earlier this evening. these were the protesters again

more peaceful. liam is live in the satellite center. a far cry from what we saw last night? >> it has been more peaceful there tonight. we did see a group of protesters get on to the interstate in charlotte. police fired tear gas on them. this as we are coming up against a midnight curfew in charlotte. protesters took to the sheets of charlotte for the third night any row, angry over the police shooting of 43-year-old keith scott. >> we have to stand up for what we believe in. e here. >> reporter: the city sunday a state of emergency. officials have set a curfew for midnight. >> none of us are free until all of us are free. >> reporter: as night fell, national guard tanks rolling in and heavily armed troops patrolling on foot gathering in a show of force determined to keep the peace. >> right now we think we're resourceed adequately to have a much better outcome.
