FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Maybe Texans safety Andre Hal thought Jacoby Brissett would run out of bounds at the 5 in the first quarter of his first NFL start.After all, with Tom Brady suspended and Jimmy Garoppolo injured, the Patriots didnt have any other quarterbacks on the roster to call upon if the 23-year-old rookie got hurt.But Brissett, who broke free around the right side on a first-and-15 from the Houston 27, went untouched to the 5 before Hal appeared to have him cornered. Heading for the sideline, Brissett stutter-stepped and let the defender cut in front of him, then slipped through his grasp before diving for the end zone .As his teammates rushed to celebrate with him, the stadium public address blasted out The Doors: Hello, I love you, wont you tell me your name.Brissett went on to complete 11 of 19 passes for 103 yards, and ran for 48 yards on eight carries for the Patriots on Thursday night as they took advantage of three Houston turnovers to beat the Texans 27-0. The 27-yard touchdown run was the longest for a Patriots quarterback since 1976.New England improved to 3-0 without Brady, who has one game remaining on his Deflategate suspension.It was quite an introduction for Brissett, who came on in relief of Garoppolo against Miami on Sunday and four days later became the first rookie quarterback to start for the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 -- and the first black player to start at QB in franchise history .It was 15 years minus one day after Bledsoe was knocked out of the game on a hit by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis.Brady led the Patriots to the Super Bowl title that year -- and three more -- relinquishing the job only in 2008, when he was injured, and again this year when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell benched him four games for his role in a scheme to use improperly inflated footballs in the 2015 AFC title game.Bledsoe, who had been the No. 1 overall pick in the 1993 NFL draft, was the last rookie to start a game at quarterback for the Patriots before Brissett took the field on Thursday night, leading the team out of the tunnel before the game and then to a victory during it.Brissett made his NFL debut in relief of Garoppolo, who was slammed to the turf by Dolphins linebacker Kiko Alonso on Sunday, a 31-24 Patriots victory. Brissett completed 6 of 9 passes for 92 yards against Miami but it wasnt clear he would get the start until Garoppolo was on the inactive list when it was released 90 minutes before kickoff.Coach Bill Belichick decided not to bring in a free agent quarterback to fill out the depth chart , leaving only receiver Julian Edelman, who played QB at Kent State, if something happened to Brissett.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Reshad Jones Jersey . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. Jason Taylor Youth Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- The worst of the National League West is tying a bow on their four-game series.The Arizona Diamondbacks (51-72) face San Diego (52-71) on Sunday with the Padres trying to snap a four-series losing streak.The Padres, who are headed to their sixth straight losing season, took the first two games before the Diamondbacks rallied behind Robbie Rays gem to win Saturday night.San Diego will be looking to get more hits than errors Sunday, something they didnt do on Saturday. The Padres had four errors and three hits.Arizona right-hander Braden Shipley gets the nod and the Diamondbacks are hoping he doesnt repeat his last performance. Shipley, who is making his first career start against the Padres, was rocked for seven runs (six earned) over five innings in losing to the New York Mets on Tuesday.It was stumble for Shipley, who has been pretty solid since his debut. And he was cruising along through the first four innings when trouble arrived in the fifth. Manager Chip Hale stayed with his youngster and he didnt record an out in the sixth.We dont want them to take their lumps to the point where were out of a game, Hale said. I wish I couldve gotten him out of there a little quicker.Before the Diamondbacks get out of town, theyll face righty Luis Perrdomo.dddddddddddd An afterthought at the beginning of the season, Perdomo has become the senior member of the rotation after James Shields, Drew Pomeranz and Andrew Cashner were traded. With opening day starter Tyson Ross limited to one start, Perdomo has been thrust into a more prominent role.Perdomo, who has hit an uneven patch, is making his 14th career start and second against Arizona. He was tagged with his third straight loss in his last outing Monday against the Tampa Bay Rays.Although he didnt pitch that bad, He was charged with three runs and five hits over 5 2/3 innings. His trouble came in the early innings when he was trying to be too fine. He tip-toed out of a first-inning bases loaded jam by allowing one run.Trying to be too perfect, Perdomo said through a translator. That was the biggest issue that I had.Two of Perdomos wins have come against the Diamondbacks, including one in relief. He prevailed in a start on July 4, when pitching six innings of three-run ball.Its the first game for the Diamondbacks in which they officially know shortstop Nick Ahmen is out. Hell undergo season-ending hip surgery next week. ' ' '
