“If you can’t beat ’em, join em,” the old saying goes. So Aqib Talib made himself an unofficial member of the Houston Texans when he shared his personal notes on Tom Brady with Texans cornerback A.J. Bouye, according to James Palmer of NFL Network.

Will a “gate” get attached to this latest off-field funny business? Probably not as the New England Patriots dispatched the Houston Texans 34-16 on Saturday to advance to the AFC Championship Game, but the win wasn’t as easy as the final score might indicate. (Brady threw two interceptions – as many as he’d thrown all season to date – in the game and Houston was within one score less than a minute into the fourth quarter.)
There’s no word yet on whether or not Talib might have violated any NFL or team rules for sharing info with the Texans – especially as Palmer noted they were his “personal notes” – but the guys at 120 Sports couldn’t help but wonder if there’s a little bit of a double standard when it comes to dealing with the Patriots. Check it out in the video below.
