FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The Patriots have practiced all week in the Dana-Farber Fieldhouse as they prepare for Sunday's game against the Texans.
For the most part, this has been standard operating procedure when the Patriots have a week in which they are traveling to an indoor facility. Houston's Reliant Stadium has a retractable roof.
In the Texans' seven home games this season, the roof has been opened three times and kept closed four times. Some stats to consider from this season:
Pats indoors: 0-2
Texans at home with roof opened: 1-2
Texans at home with roof closed: 2-2
The Patriots had every player on the roster and practice squad present for the start of Friday's practice.
