What did the Texans do wrong that we won't?

I'm not entirely sure what to take from the Texans game since they looked entirely outmatched. But what did you take from that game as the biggest mistakes?

Staying in in their base 3-4/5-2 when the Patriots were constantly flexing their LBs/RBs out against their unathletic LBs. We'll be in Nickel most of the game. They also kept trying to run power plays into Vince Wilfork and Brandon Spikes. They finally adjusted with outside runs, but it was too late. Caldwell will challenges those slow LBs to move laterally with tosses, sweeps and other outside runs.

Question being are our LBs athletic enough to cover them? Ray and Ellerbe definitely have issues in pass coverahe

Probably not, but if we're in nickel, they try to run the ball anyway (see last year's AFC CG). Hopefully our front 6/7 can stop it.
