The New England Patriots defeated the Houston Texans by a score of 27-0 in Week 3. There were plenty of likes and only one major dislike to name after the big win.

Here are the likes and dislikes from the Patriots win.

Like: Jamie Collins

The performance of Jamie Collins was simply spectacular. Not only did Collins lead the Patriots with eight combined tackles, but he also registered his second interception of the season.

If you aren’t mentioning Collins as a frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year, you are doing something wrong. For the second straight week, Collins swallowed the responsibilities of Dont’a Hightower and was a factor in just about every single play for the Patriots in Week 3.

It’s safe to say that retaining Collins is the top offseason priority for the Patriots in 2017. If tonight was any indication, the fourth-year pro is the most talented defensive player in the league after J.J. Watt. But after Watt’s quiet night in Week 3, it just may be Collins who is the most dominating on that side of the ball.

Patriots fans could not be happier with the performance of Collins. He is the most exciting player to watch on the field with that combination of physicality, ball skills and athleticism.
