"This is one of those things, I've never seen it before: a guy being able to come in here after four or five days and become the starting center," Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo later said about Brown's performance. He added, "He did a great job. I would say he probably was our best lineman [Sunday], and he did a good job for us. He did a good job all through the week during practice, and then went out there and performed pretty well."
"The move was made on Tuesday, and the next day he already found himself on the Gillette Stadium practice field donning a white No. 77 jersey and wearing a throwback Pat Patriot helmet. Over the next couple of days, Brown saw a heavy workload for a new arrival - to a point where the team felt comfortable giving him the starting position against the Texans, and entrusting him with protecting first-time starting quarterback Drake Maye."
