Texans linebackers dressed up as SWAT team members before facing the Patriots
This isn't the first time the Texans have done this.
The Texans are up to some pregame shenanigans again.

This isn’t the first time the Texans have dressed up before playing the Patriots in a big prime time game.
In 2012, Houston entered Gillette Stadium wearing custom lettermen jackets before facing New England on “Monday Night Football.”
The Texans lost that game, 42-12, and lost again to the Patriots in the AFC Divisional Round that season.
Justin Forsett, who was a running back on the 2012 Texans, tweeted out that he hopes the pregame gimmick works out this time.
“I was part of a Texans team that wore custom letterman jackets vs the Patriots,” Forsett tweeted. “Long story short we got destroyed hope it’s different tonight lol.”
