TBT: Vince Wilfork's pregame speech

Sep 21, 2016 at 11:00 PM

Vince Wilfork will return to New England on Thursday night as a visitor for the first time in his NFL career.

Last season, Wilfork pumped up his teammates with a riveting pregame speech. Despite the loss, his teammates did deliver the big plays that Wilfork wanted to see from them. Jadeveon Clowney sacked Tom Brady twice for the first multi-sack game of his career. Whitney Mercilus added sack to bring his total to 7.5, a new career-high for (2013, 7.0). John Simon recovered a muffed punt in the third quarter at the New England 21-yard line.

Heading into Week 3, the (2-0) Texans hope to remain undefeated as they travel to Gillette Stadium for Thursday night's game against the (2-0) Patriots. Kickoff is set for 7:25 p.m. CT.
