A look at the offensive participation of skill-position players from the Patriots' 34-27 loss to the Texans:
WR Julian Edelman – 52 of 63
TE Benjamin Watson – 49 of 63
WR Randy Moss – 48 of 63
QB Tom Brady – 44 of 63
WR Sam Aiken – 36 of 63
TE Chris Baker – 31 of 63
RB Sammy Morris – 31 of 63
RB Fred Taylor – 22 of 63
QB Brian Hoyer – 19 of 63
RB/FB BenJarvus Green-Ellis – 17 of 63
WR Matthew Slater – 10 of 63
WR Isaiah Stanback – 10 of 63
TE Mark LeVoir – 4 of 63
WR Wes Welker – 4 of 63
FB Dan Connolly – 1 of 63
(Snaps include two defensive holding penalties, one roughing-the-passer penalty and one offensive holding penalty that officially don’t count as plays. Snaps do not include the Texans’ 12-men-on-the-field penalty.)
ANALYSIS: Edelman stepped into Welker’s role after Welker’s injury and picked up experience working in both two- and three-receiver sets. … Moss played in every series except for the final two-minute drive. … The final two-minute drive had Slater, Stanback and Edelman as the receivers, with Watson as the tight end and Green-Ellis as the running back. … The Patriots leaned heavily on Morris in the first half, as he played 26 of 36 snaps. … Hoyer did some nice things, specifically on his drive at the end of the second quarter which started at the Patriots’ 9 and ended in Stephen Gostkowski’s 43-yard field goal.
